BBQ Salmon Tacos
Serves 4
This recipe highlights the friendship between salmon and fruit, a juicy pairing. The sweetness of the mango and the brown sugar in the rub play well together, while the smokey salmon adds depth. A great weeknight meal, this dish is quick to assemble and is so delicious. If you can’t find ripe mangos, replace them with peaches or nectarines. The best part is that the leftovers are equally satisfying.
