Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Seasoning
- 1 lb. fresh salmon filet
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
Toppings and Tortillas
- 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 both sides of the salmon filets evenly with ground cumin and freshly ground pepper to infuse them with warm, earthy flavors.
- Grill the Salmon: Wrap the seasoned salmon filets securely in aluminum foil. Place the foil packets on a medium heat grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
- Warm the Tortillas: Meanwhile, wrap the corn tortillas in aluminum foil and place on the grill. Heat for about 4 minutes, turning once, until they are warmed through and pliable.
- Assemble the Tacos: Carefully open the foil-wrapped salmon and flake into large chunks. Divide the salmon evenly among the warm tortillas. Top each with a spoonful of pico de gallo and a generous portion of the easy avocado cabbage carrot cole slaw. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Be sure not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
- The avocado cabbage slaw adds creaminess without dairy, keeping the dish dairy-free.
- For extra spice, add chopped jalapeños to the pico de gallo.
- Use fresh corn tortillas for best texture; warming them in foil ensures they don’t dry out.
- This recipe can be easily doubled for a larger crowd.
