Instructions

Mix paprika, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
Place salmon onto the prepared baking sheet, drizzle evenly with the oil, then sprinkle on the spices, patting them down to make sure they stick to the salmon.
Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your liking.*
Remove from the oven, flake the salmon into large chunks with a fork, then taste and re-season, if necessary.
Place the salmon chunks in a warm tortilla, top with pineapple salsa and fish taco sauce, then enjoy!

Notes

*The FDA recommends an internal temperature of 145 degrees F for salmon, which will result in well-done salmon. Shoot for 125-130 degrees F for a medium cooked salmon.

Nutritional information is for 6 oz of the cooked salmon and does not include additional toppings or tortillas.
