You’re going to love these grilled salmon tacos. Made with a quick spicy sweet marinade and mango salsa. Wild Alaskan Company salmon is the star of this dish.
I’ve partnered with Wild Alaskan Company to bring you this recipe and offer you $15 off your first order. Wild Alaskan Company is a monthly seafood membership that delivers wild caught , sustainable seafood right to your doorstep. What could be easier than that?
They also offer a 100% money back guarantee if you’re not completely satisfied. That’s what’s up. You can read their reviews here.
Caught in the waters of Bristol Bay, Alaska this is a family owned business that goes back three generations for fishing sockeye salmon and white fish. I’m all for supporting small businesses these days and when they’re offering a fresh & sustainable product I’m all for it.
You have your choice between a salmon box, a whitefish box or a wild combo box with a mix of the two. I went with the salmon box, because we are total salmon lovers here.
The salmon arrived frozen & packaged with dry ice. Each piece is individually packaged. I just transferred it right into some large ziplock bags and over to my freezer. Whenever I want fresh wild salmon I just defrost a couple of pieces without the hassle of going to the seafood market or waiting in line at the grocer fish counter. Gah, that takes forever!
The salmon for this taco recipe is marinated in a quick & simple sweet & spicy marinade where Asia meets Mexico. It’s a quick marinade time so on those nights when your pressed for time this comes together quickly. I had make ahead flour tortillas on hand for this recipe. If you’ve never had homemade tortillas before, I urge you to try them. They are quicker and easier than you think.
I personally prefer a sweet & spicy salsa with fish tacos. Mango season is going into full swing here in South Florida. On my daily walks I rescue the mangoes that have fallen to the ground. Fair game right? I have a dish full of mangoes ripening at different stages, so keep an eye out for more mango recipes.
