Description
A delicious recipe for seared chipotle salmon tacos, featuring a blend of spices and fresh toppings.
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
- In a small bowl, mix the chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the salmon fillet.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the seasoned salmon and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
- While the salmon is resting, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
- Flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces and assemble the tacos by placing some salmon on each tortilla. Top with shredded red cabbage, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro.
- Serve with lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
Notes
- For added heat, include sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce on top of the tacos.
- Substitute the salmon with grilled shrimp or chicken for a different protein option.
