Description

Salmon Tacos offer a vibrant explosion of flavors that nourish your body from the inside out. These tacos feature flaky, spice-rubbed fish paired with a crunchy, zesty slaw that delights every palate. This meal provides a perfect balance of high-quality protein and essential fatty acids.


Ingredients

Scale

1 lb Wild-Caught Salmon Fillets
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 tsp Ground Cumi
1 tbsp Avocado Oil
2 cups Purple Cabbage (shredded)
1/4 cup Greek Yogurt (Plain)
2 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
8 small Organic Corn Tortillas
1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Pat salmon fillets dry. Whisk together smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Rub spice blend over salmon flesh
  2. Sear the Fish: Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook salmon skin-side down for 4-5 minutes until crispy, then flip and cook for 2-3 minutes
  3. Flake the Salmon: Let the fish rest, then flake into large chunks with forks
  4. Whisk the Slaw: In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, Greek yogurt, lime juice, and cilantro. Toss until well-coated
  5. Warm the Tortillas: Warm tortillas in a pan for 30 seconds per side
  6. Assemble Your Masterpiece: Place flaked fish in warm tortillas, top with cabbage slaw, and add garnishes as desired

Notes

Ensure salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, but remove from heat at 140°F for optimal texture.

Use thinly sliced cabbage for better absorption of the dressing.
