Salmon tacos are one of my favorite things to make. I love the way the salmon crisps up in the pan and how flavorful it is when you add some spices. These salmon tacos are especially crunchy and delicious, thanks to the addition of a cabbage slaw. If you’re looking for a new way to enjoy salmon, I highly recommend giving these a try for your next Taco Tuesday!
