Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (approximately 6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large (sliced into strips) Red bell pepper
- 1 large (sliced into strips) Yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium (sliced into strips) Red onion
- 8 small Flour tortillas
- 1 large (diced) Mango
- 0.5 small (finely diced for salsa) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Cilantro
- 1 small (finely diced) Jalapeño
- 1 tablespoon (for salsa) Lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon (for salsa) Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Brush the marinade generously onto the salmon fillets and set them aside for 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
On a large baking sheet, arrange the sliced red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet alongside the vegetables. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon and vegetables bake, prepare the mango salsa: In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to combine.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or wrap them in foil and place in the oven for 5 minutes.
Once the salmon and vegetables are done, let them cool for a minute before flaking the salmon into large chunks.
Assemble the fajitas: Place some roasted vegetables onto a warm tortilla, add a few salmon chunks, and top with a spoonful of mango salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
