Ingredients
Scale
Salmon Tacos
- 1 lb. fresh salmon filet
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup pico de gallo (homemade or store-bought)
- 8 small corn tortillas
Avocado Cabbage Carrot Slaw
- 4 cups Easy Avocado Cabbage Carrot Cole Slaw (prepared separately)
Instructions
- Prepare Salmon: Sprinkle the salmon filets evenly with ground cumin and freshly ground pepper to season the fish and enhance its natural flavor.
- Grill Salmon: Wrap the seasoned salmon in aluminum foil and place it on a grill set to medium heat. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Warm Tortillas: Wrap the corn tortillas in aluminum foil and warm them on the grill for 4 minutes, turning once to ensure even warming without drying out.
- Assemble Tacos: Unwrap the warmed tortillas and fill each with grilled salmon, a generous scoop of pico de gallo, and a portion of the Easy Avocado Cabbage Carrot Slaw, dividing ingredients evenly among the eight tacos.
Notes
- This recipe uses fresh salmon for the best texture and flavor; alternatively, other firm fish can be used.
- Cooking times may vary depending on grill heat—ensure salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
- For a spicier pico de gallo, add jalapeños or hot sauce to taste.
- Warm tortillas wrapped in foil on the grill prevents them from drying out and keeps them pliable.
- The slaw can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to use.
