Ingredients
Scale
For the Salmon:
- 1 lb. fresh salmon filet
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
For Assembly:
- 1 cup pico de gallo, homemade or store bought
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 4 cups Easy Avocado Cabbage Carrot Cole Slaw
Instructions
- Season the salmon: Sprinkle the salmon filets evenly with ground cumin and freshly ground pepper to infuse warm, earthy flavors into the fish.
- Grill the salmon: Wrap the seasoned salmon filets in aluminum foil to retain moisture and grill them over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn once halfway through cooking to ensure even doneness, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
- Warm the tortillas: Wrap the corn tortillas in aluminum foil and place them on the grill. Heat for 4 minutes, turning once, until the tortillas are warm and pliable.
- Assemble the tacos: Divide the cooked salmon evenly among the warmed tortillas. Top each taco with pico de gallo and a generous helping of the Easy Avocado Cabbage Carrot Cole Slaw, creating a fresh and colorful combination.
Notes
- Use fresh salmon for the best texture and flavor.
- Foil-wrapping helps keep the salmon moist while grilling.
- If you don’t have a grill, the salmon can also be cooked in a grill pan or baked in the oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes.
- Warm the tortillas to make them more flexible and enhance their flavor.
- The avocado cabbage carrot slaw can be prepared ahead of time to save meal prep time.
- Use gluten-free corn tortillas to keep the dish gluten-free.
- Adjust the level of cumin and pepper to your taste preference.
