Ingredients
For the Taco Slaw:
- 4 cups shredded cabbage (200g)
- ¼ cup lime juice (60ml)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
For the Tacos:
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 (6-ounce/170g) salmon filets
- small corn tortillas warmed
Optional Toppings:
- Sliced avocado
- Diced mango or pineapple
- diced red onion
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
For the Taco Slaw:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the cabbage, lime juice, salt, and cilantro. Set aside while you make the tacos, stirring occasionally.
For the Tacos:
- In a small bowl, combine the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
- Brush 1 tablespoon of oil all over the salmon. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly all over the filets. (If your filets still have skin, you don’t need to season the skin side.)
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon for about 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip the salmon and cook for another 4 minutes, or until browned and the internal temperature reaches 145°F in the thicket portion of each filet. (If the filets are thick and haven’t reached temperature after 4 minutes, you can cover the skillet and continue to cook the filets for 2 to 5 more minutes.)
- Remove the salmon from the heat and flake the filets with a fork, discarding any skin. Assemble tacos with flaked salmon, slaw, and additional toppings of your choice. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- Make a creamy slaw. Add sour cream, mayonnaise, or chipotle mayonnaise to the slaw if you prefer it creamier. I typically add 2 to 3 tablespoons, but you can add as much or as little as you like.
- Use purple cabbage. Shredded purple cabbage would be great used in the slaw on its own or mixed with green cabbage. The color contrasts beautifully with the orange salmon.
- If you buy a head of cabbage to make the slaw, I recommend doubling the slaw recipe and serving more cabbage on the side! This will use up most of the cabbage head and make a delicious, crunchy addition to the meal.
- Use taco seasoning. Feel free to swap the salmon seasonings for store-bought or homemade taco seasoning in this salmon taco recipe.
