Salmon Tacos with Avocado Cream
Report
This is possibly one of the best Mexican dishes I have made and the best thing about it is that it is so simple and it is ready in less than 15 minutes.

Ingredients
- 480 g salmon fillets
- 0.5 tablespoon paprika
- 0.5 tablespoon Chipotle powder (or any chilli powder)
- 0.5 tablespoon cumin
- 1 pinch sea salt and ground black pepper
- 8 Soft tacos
- 200 g Crunchy lettuce/cabbage mix shredded
- 1 avocado
- 4 tablespoon 0% Fat Free Greek yogurt
- 1 lime (juice only)
- 2 tablespoon fresh coriander (cilantro) cilantro
- 2 tablespoon water
- 2 tomatoes diced
- 50 g feta crumbled
Instructions
- Mix together 0.5 tablespoon Paprika, 0.5 tablespoon Cumin, 0.5 tablespoon Chipotle powder (or any chilli powder) and 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper and rub over the salmon. Put the salmon under the grill (broiler) for 12 minutes, until cooked through.
- Make the avocado cream by adding to a food processor 1 Avocado, 4 tablespoon 0% Fat Free Greek yogurt, juice of 1 Lime and 2 tablespoon Water and blending until smooth. If you don't have a food processor, then you can mash it all together in a bowl, but you won't get as smooth a sauce.
- Once the salmon is cooked, use a fork to flake it.
- Build your tacos by adding 200 g Crunchy lettuce/cabbage mix to 8 Soft tacos, top with the salmon, 2 Tomatoes and 50 g Feta and then spoon over the avocado cream.
- Sprinkle with 2 tablespoon Fresh coriander (cilantro).
Notes
- If you don't have a food processor, then you can mash the sauce ingredients together in a bowl, but you won't get as smooth a sauce.
- If you are making these for younger children, then use less chilli powder (or leave it out) and leave out the salt.
- Add some extra crunch by topping the tacos with slices of radish.
- We used crumbled feta on top of these tacos, but you can use queso fresco to keep it more traditional if you can find it.
- If salmon isn't your thing, then you could swap it for cod, or even some king prawns.
- Use a lettuce leaf instead of a taco to save some calories.
- Why not gently toast your tortillas over an open gas flame on the hob to give them a bit of colour.
- Give the tacos a squeeze of lime juice before serving to lighten it all up.
