I’ve got a new way to taco for you!
My chili lime salmon tostadas have so much flavor, are very easy to make and absolutely delicious. They’re incredibly satisfying and you will love adding them to your menu this week.
Think: a crispy crunchy tortilla topped with guacamole, shredded lettuce, flaked buttery salmon and a lime creme.
Tastes.like.heaven.
Seriously! It’s such a fun switch if you’re looking for new ways to incorporate salmon this year. And if you’re looking for new weeknight dinner ideas!
It’s no secret just how much I love salmon – I make it at least once a week. So I am also always looking for new ways to enjoy it. At this point, it feels like I will never get sick of it, but that’s why I like to keep the variety going. Just in case!
This salmon is so juicy, tender, buttery and EASY to make! It’s simply salmon filets seared with lots of tajin and the flavor is spot on. It’s a little savory, spicy and citrusy. Just absolutely perfect.
This is how I make it!
First up, the crispy tortilla shells. You can pan-fry these, bake them or buy them! I personally like to get corn tortillas and pan-fry them in a little bit of avocado oil. They get so super crisp, crunchy and airy while still remaining very light. If you make them this way, be sure to hit them with a sprinkle of salt at the end!
I make the lime crema here so it can sit and develop flavor. You can make it the day ahead of time too!
Next, I cook the salmon. This is the easiest way I prepare salmon – it’s almost embarrassing. I cover it in the tajin seasoning (or any chili lime seasoning) and then sear it in a pan. THAT’S IT. If you’re using tajin, you don’t even need salt and pepper. It’s super simple and tastes fabulous.
The last steps: make a quick guac and chop some lettuce. Then it’s time to pile the toppings on that tostada!
I spread the guacamole on the crispy tortilla, then add on the lettuce and the salmon. Throw on some green onions, drizzle on the crema… it’s perfect!
Can’t even explain how much I love this. The texture!
It’s crispy, refreshing, buttery and creamy. Just incredible to bite into.
And now you have dinner tonight!

-
Heat 1 tablespoon of the avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the corn tortillas one at a time, frying for 1 to 2 minutes and then flipping and frying to another 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining tortillas. I use this same skillet for the salmon too!
-
In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lime juice, zest, garlic, honey and salt until combined. Set aside.
-
Season the salmon all over with the tajin. Heat the same skillet over medium heat with another drizzle of olive oil. Add the salmon and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then gently flip and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, until it flakes with a fork and is opaque.
-
Assemble the tostadas! Spread some guac on each, then top with shredded lettuce. Flake the salmon with a fork and place it on top of the lettuce. Add on the green onions and drizzle with the lime crema. Serve!
Deeeelish.
