Chamoy is a sauce that hails from Mexico. It’s made from dried pickled fruit and chilies. It’s salty, sweet, and just a little bit spicy. These Chamoy Salmon Tacos feature juicy chunks of grilled salmon slathered in a sweet and tangy honey chamoy glaze nestled into blue corn tortillas. The salmon is topped with a spicy and refreshing Watermelon Pico de Gallo, slices of avocado, and a few sprigs of fresh cilantro.

Ingredients for chamoy salmon tacos
Step 1

Place all the pico de gallo ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Transfer to the fridge and let sit for 30 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid before serving.

Step 2

Place the salmon in a large bowl and add the salt and olive oil. Toss to coat. Thread 2-3 pieces of salmon onto a metal skewer. Repeat until you have 10-12 skewers.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk to combine the honey and chamoy. Set aside.

Step 4

Oil a cast iron griddle or a grill. Heat over high and add the salmon skewers. Grill until the fish releases from the grill. Pulling it prematurely could cause it to tear.

Step 5

When the fish is almost done, brush it with the chamoy mixture. Flip the fish and brush the opposite side. Let the fish cook for 30 seconds more.

Step 6

Transfer the salmon to a plate and brush it with a little more of the glaze.
