My healthy baked salmon tacos are fresh and full of flavor and ready in under 30 minutes. The cilantro lime Greek yogurt dressing tastes just as good as sour cream but contains fewer calories.
Mmm tacos! It’s been a while since we’ve seen tacos on this blog, so I’m pretty happy that they’re back. I’ve been meaning to do salmon tacos for a while now.
I love how easy and fuss-free it is to cook a piece of salmon in the oven. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up, pop it in the oven, and 15 minutes later you’ve got an easy meal.
These tacos really couldn’t be much simpler. While the salmon is cooking, whip up the sauce and cut up the veggies. These healthy baked salmon tacos are perfect for busy weeknights. I’m also pretty sure that this would be a great way to get picky eaters to eat their fish!
I seasoned the salmon with salt & pepper, a bit of garlic powder, some ground cumin, and a little chili powder. As always, adjust seasonings to suit your tastes. A good quality piece of salmon doesn’t need too much enhancement.
I chose corn tortillas for these tacos, but flour tortillas would work as well. Finely chopped iceberg lettuce and creamy avocado are the finishing touches on this taco recipe.
Will you make my healthy baked salmon tacos?

Healthy Baked Salmon Tacos
Ingredients
- 8-10 corn tortillas
- 1 piece fresh salmon (about 1/2 pound)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Garlic powder to taste
- Ground cumin to taste
- Chili powder (optional) to taste
- Salt & pepper to taste
Sauce:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (I used 2%)
- Juice from 1/2 lime
- 1 clove garlic minced
- Handful fresh cilantro chopped
Toppings:
- 1 avocado diced
- Iceberg lettuce shredded, to taste
- Lime wedges to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Move the rack to the middle position. Line a baking sheet with foil. Wrap the tortillas in foil and put them in the oven right away.
- Place a piece of salmon on the baking sheet and coat it with olive oil. Gently sprinkle with garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt & pepper. Cook in oven for 10-15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Meanwhile, combine the sauce ingredients. Set aside. Prepare the avocado and lettuce.
- When the salmon is done, roughly cut it into bite-size pieces using a fork. Assemble tacos immediately. Serve with extra lime if desired.
Notes
- If you're feeding 4+ people, I suggest buying a large piece of salmon or 2-3 smaller ones.

Looks great! What are the calories per serving? Will be doing this tomorrow! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Greta! Hope you enjoy the recipe. Sorry, I don’t know what the calories are. You could try plugging the ingredients into an online calculator, but I’m not sure how accurate they are.
No worries, Natasha! I’m making them right now! Thanks, again. 😊
Hope you like them 🙂
This sounds really good. I have some remaining salmon from last nite and was looking for a healthy and tasty alternative. Thank you for posting looking forward to trying this.
Hope you like them!
I’m in love with all of your recipe’s! I am going to try and make these tonight! Looks so good!
Thanks, John!! Hope you like these!
OMG Natasha these tacos look SO good. Perfect for that January reset – healthy AND delicious! And seriously, I am LOVING that you use corn tortillas too! They can be difficult to find in stores but honestly they are so soooo much better than the flour ones. Makes taco night extra special!
Thanks, Taylor!! Yeah, I do enjoy both, but I have to say store-bought tortillas of all kinds don’t always do it for me. I need to learn how to make my own!!
Salmon tacos sounds and looks like the most incredible combo I’ve ever seen! I’ve had fish tacos before with white fish, but salmon sounds even better 🙂
Thank you!!
LOVE this! Salmon and avocado go so well together. Can’t wait to try!
Thanks, Kim! Let me know if you like it 🙂
I love how quick, easy and flavorful these tacos are Natasha! I agree with minimal spices and totally love your yogurt sauce! Winner of a Taco Tuesday!
Thank you, Mary Ann! 🙂
Avocados and salmon… always a good idea! Excited to try!
Thanks, Susan! Do let me know if you try it!
Yay! Perfect for taco Tuesday (or any day of the week for that matter) ! I regularly use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and even prefer it! These look really good, Natasha. I’ve never had salmon on a taco before and love that you used iceberg lettuce for a nice crunch. And ya can’t go wrong with avocado 🙂 Pinning! Hope your week is going great!
Thanks, Dawn!! I’m glad you like the idea of these tacos. 🙂 I love my Greek yogurt too… I eat a lot of it!!
