Instructions
In a large bowl, combine diced mango, avocado, chopped orange bell pepper, and minced jalapeno to create the salsa. Stir in fresh lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt, then cover and refrigerate to chill.
Season one side of each salmon fillet with seafood rub, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Gently rub the spices into the fish until evenly coated.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets, carefully remove the skin, and season the top with the same spice mix. Continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes, until the salmon is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.
Slice each salmon fillet lengthwise into 6 pieces for the tacos.
Heat a small amount of oil in another skillet over medium heat. Warm the corn tortillas, one at a time, for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and flexible.
Place a piece of salmon on each warm tortilla, then top with the fresh salsa. Finish with a squeeze of lime juice over the top.
