Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless salmon filets
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- small corn or flour tortillas

Method
Warm the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or grease with cooking spray; keep nearby.
Prepare the salmon. Beat together the chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and black pepper together in a small bowl until combined. Lightly pat the salmon filets dry with paper towels. Then place them in a single layer on the baking sheet, brush on all sides with oil, and sprinkle evenly with the seasoning mixture. Roast until the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 135-145°F*, about 4-6 minutes per half inch of thickness (measured by the thickest part of the filet). You can also test for
Make the salsa. While your salmon is cooking, toss together the oranges, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro and lime juice in a medium bowl until combined.
Assemble the tacos. Once the salmon is cooked, use a fork to roughly shred it into large pieces. Tip in the salmon to your tortillas, top with a few spoonfuls of salsa (plus some extra cilantro if you would like)...and enjoy!
