Chipotle Roasted Salmon Tacos
Ingredients
Cucumber and Cabbage Slaw
- 3/4 pound green cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
- 1/2 seedless cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Chipotle Salmon
- 1 3/4 pounds salmon, bones removed
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
[For Serving]
- 12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
- avocado
- lime wedges
- sriracha
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss together the cabbage, cucumber, vinegar, olive oil, dill, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Preheat oven to 425. Lightly oil a baking dish and place salmon skin-side down in the dish. Brush salmon with lime juice. Season the salmon with the chipotle powder, lime zest, salt, and pepper, lightly pressing in the seasonings so that they adhere. Roast for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Salmon is done when the fish is just flaky.
- Warm the tortillas over an open gas flame on the stove or on a grill. To serve, arrange a portion of the salmon in the middle of each tortilla and top with the slaw and sliced avocado. Give an extra squeeze of lime and a drizzle of sriracha, if desired.
