Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh salmon fillets

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 small corn tortillas

2 cups watermelon, finely diced

1 cup red cabbage, shredded

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 tablespoon honey

1 jalapeño, finely diced (optional for heat)

1 avocado, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon: Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush them with olive oil. Season both sides with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

    Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the grill skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

      Make the Watermelon Slaw: In a large bowl, combine the diced watermelon, shredded red cabbage, chopped cilantro, lime juice, honey, and the diced jalapeño (if using). Toss gently to mix all ingredients well, and season with salt to taste.

        Warm the Tortillas: While the salmon is resting, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

          Assemble the Tacos: Flake the grilled salmon into large pieces. To assemble the tacos, place a generous portion of flaked salmon on a warm tortilla, top with a scoop of watermelon slaw, and add slices of avocado for creaminess.

            Serve and Enjoy: Serve your salmon tacos immediately, garnished with lime wedges and any extra cilantro if desired.
