If you’re looking for a vibrant, healthy dish that feels indulgent but is refreshingly light, these Honey BBQ Salmon Tacos are the answer. Succulent salmon fillets are seasoned with a smoky paprika rub, glazed in a sticky honey BBQ sauce, and wrapped in soft tortillas with crunchy slaw and a zesty drizzle. This fusion of smoky barbecue and Mexican street-food spirit creates a satisfying, colourful meal that’s perfect for casual dinners, barbecues, or summer evenings.

Prepare the slaw:
In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, red onion, and carrot. Mix the mayonnaise, lime juice, and a pinch of salt, then toss through the vegetables. Set aside.

Season the salmon:
In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper. Rub the seasoning over both sides of the salmon fillets.

Cook the salmon:
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the salmon and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until almost cooked through.

Glaze the salmon:
In a small bowl, stir together the honey and BBQ sauce. Brush generously over the salmon in the pan. Allow to bubble for 1–2 minutes, turning the fillets gently to coat in the sticky glaze.

Assemble the tacos:
Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave. Flake the glazed salmon into large chunks. Fill each tortilla with a portion of slaw, a few pieces of salmon, slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh coriander.

Serve:
Squeeze over fresh lime juice and enjoy immediately.
