Baja-style Salmon Tacos
Ingredients
12 oz salmon fillet, cut into 4 portions (3 oz each)
4 — 8-inch whole-wheat tortillas
Taco filling
1 cup green cabbage (about ¼ head), rinsed and shredded
2 tsplime juice
1 tsp honey
½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
1 medium jalapeño (seeds removed), minced
1 tbsp fresh cilantro, minced
Marinade
½ tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp lime juice
2 tsp chili powder
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground coriander
¼ tsp salt
Preparation
Preheat grill or oven broiler (with the rack 3 inches from heat source) on high temperature. Prepare taco filling by combining all ingredients. Let stand for 10-15 minutes to blend the flavors.
To prepare the marinade, combine the oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, coriander and salt in a bowl. Place salmon fillets in a flat dish with sides. Pour marinade evenly over fillets.
Place salmon fillets on grill or broiler. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until fish flakes easily with a fork in the thickest part (to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees F). Remove from the heat and set aside for 2-3 minutes. Cut into strips. To make each taco, fill one tortilla with ¾ cup filling and one salmon fillet.
