Description
Delicious crispy salmon tacos topped with a creamy avocado lime sauce, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 avocado
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture over the salmon fillets.
- Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is baking, prepare the avocado lime sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, sour cream, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. Blend until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water to reach your desired consistency.
- Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces with a fork.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, place a portion of flaked salmon on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, and fresh cilantro. Drizzle with avocado lime sauce.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the tacos.
- You can also substitute the salmon with grilled shrimp or chicken for a different flavor profile.
