Ingredients

Salmon Tacos

  • 1 pound wild caught salmon fillets
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 8 corn tortillas, warmed or grilled

Strawberry Avocado Salsa

  • 2 cups diced strawberries
  • 1 avocado, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, deseeded and finely diced
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • Kosher salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat. In a small bowl combine the chili powder, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels then sprinkle the seasoning mix over the salmon fillets, rubbing it in gently to ensure it doesn't all fall off. 
  • Oil the grill grates and place the salmon on the grill (flesh side down if using skin-on). Cook for approximately 6-10 minutes depending on the thickness and how well done you like it cooked. Let the salmon rest for several minutes before removing the skin and flaking it apart with a fork.
  • In a medium sized bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the strawberry avocado salsa. Stir together gently and taste for seasoning.
  • Warm or grill the corn tortillas and fill them with the grilled flaked salmon and topped with the salsa.
