Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Seasoning
- 1 lb. fresh salmon filet
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
Additional Taco Ingredients
- 1 cup pico de gallo, homemade or store bought
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 4 cups Easy Avocado Cabbage Carrot Cole Slaw (prepared separately or store-bought)
Instructions
- Season the Salmon. Sprinkle the salmon filets evenly with ground cumin and freshly ground pepper to enhance their natural flavors.
- Grill the Salmon. Wrap the seasoned salmon in aluminum foil and place it on a medium heat grill. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Warm the Tortillas. While the salmon is grilling, wrap the corn tortillas in aluminum foil and place them on the grill for about 4 minutes, turning once, until they are warm and pliable.
- Assemble the Tacos. Remove the salmon from the foil and break into bite-sized pieces. Fill each warm tortilla evenly with pieces of salmon, spoon over the pico de gallo, and top with the avocado cabbage and carrot slaw.
Notes
- Use fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture.
- Easy Avocado Cabbage Carrot Cole Slaw can be prepared ahead or purchased store-bought for convenience.
- If a grill is not available, salmon can be baked in the oven at 375°F for 12-15 minutes.
- Ensure tortillas are wrapped well in foil to keep them warm and soft while grilling.
- Adjust the level of spice in the pico de gallo according to your preference.
