These spicy fish tacos are a quick and easy weeknight dinner idea. The spicy fish adds tons of delicious flavour. Here, we used salmon, but you can use any white flaky fish such as cod, halibut, or mahi mahi. Grilling or oven roasting the salmon is healthier than frying, and toppings, such as tomato, and avocado add colour and texture.
