Grilled Salmon Tacos with Fresh Cherry-Chipotle Salsa

June 16, 2017 By Patricia 20 Comments

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Mission®. All opinions are entirely my own. Thank you for supporting the brands I love!

Have you cracked open your grill yet? When you do, tear off the cover, clean up those grates, and try my recipe for grilled salmon tacos with fresh cherry-chipotle salsa. It’s a great dish to enjoy all summer!

Grilled Salmon Tacos with Fresh Cherry-Chipotle Salsa is perfect for Taco Tuesday or any other day! You'll love the salmon with the zingy salsa, perfect for grilling season.

What’s your favorite thing to grill? In my house, salmon is definitely in the top five when it comes to grilling. Whether you’re big into grilling salmon or not, I’m going to let you know that you definitely need to try this recipe for grilled salmon with fresh cherry-chipotle salsa!

The combination of flavors in these tacos — sweet, spicy, earthy — and the textures, too, will make you cheer. Well, okay. Maybe it’s just me cheering cuz I’m like that, but you never know.

Grilled Salmon Tacos with Fresh Cherry-Chipotle Salsa is a perfect summer dish. Fresh cherries are perfect to top the salmon! Get your grill on!

If you love grilling salmon and pairing it with a tasty salsa, I’ve got another version for you to try: Molasses-glazed Salmon with Sweet-and-Spicy Peach Salsa. It’s the ultimate summer dish.

And if you’re not quiiiite ready to break out the grill, try my super-easy-to-make salmon dish: Sheet Pan Blueberry-Balsamic Glazed Salmon. Did I mention it couldn’t be easier to make? It’s so pretty, too!

Grilling season has hit the entire country, and I couldn’t be happier. I should note that, in Arizona, it’s basically grilling season all year long.

But trust me. I know people who live in snow country and they grill all year, too, although the warm weather definitely makes grilling a little more convenient for the rest of us!

Grilled Salmon Tacos with Fresh Cherry-Chipotle Salsa is the perfect summer-season dish! You'll love to crack open the grill for these tacos!

The newest addition to my outdoor cooking repertoire is this grilled salmon with fresh cherry-chipotle salsa. Mmm! It’s super easy to make and the color is gorgeous, but it’s the flavor I love most. The sweet, juicy cherries are a perfect combo with the smoky and spicy chipotle and adobo sauce. Then there’s the smashed avocado, and the crunchy cabbage…

And of course wrapping everything up in taco format makes matters extra delicious.

Grilled Salmon Tacos with Cherry-Chipotle Salsa is the bomb for summer grilling. You'll love all the flavors in this dish!

I picked up white corn Mission Organics® Tortillas from my local Safeway grocery store (and I’ve seen them at Sprout’s Farmers Market, too, if you’re lucky to have one where you live). Even though they’re new to the market, they’re easy to find on the shelves, right there with the other tortillas, prominently displayed so you won’t have to search for them.

Want more recipes? Check out a bit more about the Mission Organics line here and find out where you can pick yours up.

Grilled Salmon Tacos with Cherry-Chipotle Salsa is an amazing summer dish. You'll love everything from the salmon down to the fresh salsa!

It’s always my opinion that good ingredients contribute to a good meal. Wouldn’t you agree? These tortillas fit the bill: they’re non-GMO project verified and USDA organic certified, and the white corn tortillas are also gluten free.

I’m eager to try the other two Mission Organics tortillas (they also make flour and whole wheat versions). The next time you make tostadas, be sure to reach for these white corn tortillas as the perfect base to your dish.

You know this season is all about the grill, so add these grilled salmon tacos with cherry-chipotle salsa to the menu the next time you fire things up. You’ll be glad you did!

Grilled Salmon Tacos with Fresh Cherry-Chipotle Salsa is a great summer dish. It may become your favorite tacos and salsa to serve!
