Grilled birria salmon is a delicious twist on traditional birria, a popular Mexican stew typically made with beef or goat. In this dish, fresh salmon is marinated in a flavorful blend of spices, chilies, and herbs, and then grilled to perfection. The result is a tender, juicy, and flavorful piece of fish perfect for any seafood lover looking to try something new. The birria marinade adds a delicious, spicy kick to the salmon and pairs perfectly with various sides, including rice and beans.
