Expert Tips

• Ensure the grill is well-preheated before adding the salmon. Consistent medium-high heat helps achieve a nicely grilled texture.
• Keep an eye on the salmon while grilling. Overcooking can make it dry, so aim for around 3 minutes per side, adjusting based on thickness.
• Warm the tortillas to make them more pliable and keep them from breaking when you eat your tacos. Warm them in the oven, on the grill, or the stovetop.
