Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). This temperature is perfect for roasting that wonderful chipotle salmon, ensuring it remains juicy and flavorful.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the salmon filets with olive oil, chipotle, honey, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Ensure each piece is well-coated, then arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Don’t forget to add the jalapeños alongside!
  3. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 10-15 minutes. The salmon should flake easily with a fork when fully cooked. For a delightful char, broil for an additional minute at the end to get those crispy edges!
  4. While the salmon roasts, prepare the salsa. Remove the seeds from the jalapeño and chop it finely. In a bowl, combine the chopped jalapeño, diced pineapple, mango, cilantro, grated ginger, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to let the flavors meld!
  5. When the salmon is ready, warm your tortillas. Then, stuff them with creamy avocado, flaky salmon, fresh salsa, and a sprinkle of cotija cheese for that extra flavor boost!
  6. Optional: Serve with lime wedges for an added zesty kick.
