Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 4 oz each) salmon fillets (skinless)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 small pieces corn tortillas
- 2 cups red cabbage (finely shredded)
- 0.5 cup cilantro (chopped)
- 1 medium avocado (sliced)
- 0.5 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes for more flavor.
While the salmon marinates, prepare the toppings: shred the red cabbage, chop the cilantro, slice the avocado, and set them aside.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or stovetop for about 20 seconds on each side, just until pliable.
In a small bowl, stir the Greek yogurt with a teaspoon of hot sauce (if desired) to create a tangy sauce for the tacos.
Assemble the tacos by flaking the grilled salmon into bite-sized pieces and placing them on the warm tortillas. Top with shredded red cabbage, cilantro, avocado slices, and a dollop of the yogurt sauce.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
