# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The balance of smoky, spiced salmon with tangy mango salsa is a flavor combo you won&39;t forget.
  • This recipe is fast and easy—you&39;ll spend more time eating than cooking.
02 -
  • If you grill the salmon too long, it dries out fast—keep a close watch and trust the flake test.
  • Don&39;t skip warming the tortillas; cold ones tear and ruin the taco experience.
03 -
  • Lime juice on both the fish and salsa layers brings out a fresh zing that ties the whole dish together.
  • Let the salmon rest for two minutes before flaking—this keeps it moist and easy to handle.
