Instructions
Set the oven rack to the middle position. Preheat to 400°F.
Line a sheet pan with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray or olive oil.
Cut the salmon fillet into 6 even-sized portions, about 1 to 1 ½ inches wide. Place them on the tray and generously season with salt and pepper.
Combine chipotle pepper, paprika, and cumin together in a small bowl. Evenly sprinkle about ¼ teaspoon of the spice mixture on top of the salmon.
Evenly drizzle each fillet with ¼ teaspoon maple syrup or more if needed, spread evenly on top.
Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F. The fish should easily flake apart but not be dry.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine mango, red onion, tomato, avocado, lime juice, and lime zest.
Warm tortillas in a pan. Serve one piece of salmon on each tortilla and top with salsa. Add additional toppings if desired.
Notes
Cayenne or chili pepper can be substituted for chipotle pepper. Chili pepper will not be as spicy.
