How to bake salmon:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil big enough to cover the and enclose the salmon.
- In a small bowl mix together salt, pepper, garlic, melted butter, and lemon juice.
- Place the salmon on the foil then pour the butter mixture over it. Fold the foil over the salmon to create a pouch.
- Bake until salmon is fully cooked 10-15 minutes.
- The salmon should flake easily with the use of a fork.
- Enjoy
How to make chunky mango salsa:
- Combine cubed mango, chopped bell pepper and cilantro, diced habaneros and jalapenos, and cumin and salt in a bowl.
- Squeeze the lime over the mango salsa and stir! For extra lime you can zest the lime peel into the salsa.
- This will make a lot of salsa so have some chips on hand to eat up what you don’t use on your tacos!
Make your tacos:
- Fry up some tortilla shells
- Add salmon then top with salsa! I also recommend adding some of my easy cilantro lime sauce!
- Enjoy!
