Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Salmon

    Grill or bake the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through and flaky. Remove from heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

  3. 3

    Warm the Taco Shells

    While the salmon is resting, warm the taco shells in the oven or on a skillet for about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces. In each taco shell, add a layer of black beans, followed by the flaked salmon. Top with crème fraîche and a generous spoonful of tomatillo salsa.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
