Season the salmon fillet with olive oil and a southwest spice blend.

Add salt to the salmon and rub it over the outside.

Soak the cedar wood plank in cold water, preferably overnight to prevent burning.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place the salmon on the soaked cedar plank and cook in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes until cooked through and the wood caramelizes.

Prepare the mango salsa by dicing red bell pepper, fresh mango, red onion, jalapeño, and adding cilantro and lime juice from half a lime.

Season the salsa with salt and pepper, then stir together.

Make the cilantro lime slaw by mixing 1 cup of plain yogurt, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and a quarter of a jalapeño (optional) with salt and pepper and juice from a couple of limes.

Add a full bunch of chopped cilantro to the slaw and stir to combine.

Thinly slice about a quarter of a cabbage for the slaw and mix it with the dressing.

Warm corn tortillas in a skillet until pliable.

Flake the cooked salmon off the cedar plank and assemble the tacos with salmon, cilantro lime slaw, and mango salsa.

Finish the tacos with fresh lime, jalapeño, hot sauce, and black beans.
