Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb salmon fillets, skin removed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder

- 12 small corn tortillas
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped

Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Brush salmon fillets with olive oil. Mix chili powder, cumin, and salt. Rub spice mix evenly over the salmon.
- Grill salmon for 4 to 6 minutes per side, until cooked through and flaky. Remove from grill and let rest briefly.
