Ingredients
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
- 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
- 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
- Flake the Salmon: Let the fish rest, then flake into large chunks with forks
- Whisk the Slaw: In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, Greek yogurt, lime juice, and cilantro. Toss until well-coated
- Warm the Tortillas: Warm tortillas in a pan for 30 seconds per side
- 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.
