Ingredients:

Salmon Seasoning

  • 2 six ounce Villa Salmon portions, thawed

  • 1 tbsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp pepper

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

  • 4 flour tortillas

Slaw Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage

  • 1 cup shredded carrot

  • 1/2 cup diced red pepper

  • 1/3 cup diced red onion

  • pinch salt & pepper

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • juice of 1 lime

  • 1 clove of garlic, minced

Cilantro Crema

  • 3/4 cup plain full fat Greek yogurt

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • pinch of salt & pepper

Instructions:

Add shredded cabbage to a medium sized bowl with the pinch of salt & pepper and the olive oil. Use your hand to massage the oil in and break down the cabbage.

Add the carrot, red pepper, red onion, lime juice and garlic. Stir to combine and set aside.

Pat dry your salmon portions.

Combine the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Use this mixture to season both sides of each salmon portion and then use 1 tbsp of maple syrup on each portion. Either use your hands or brush on with grill brush.

Heat a cast iron pan with a dash of olive oil. Once hot, add the seasoned salmon to the pan and cook on each side for 3-5 minutes until each side is blackened (see picture above).

While the salmon cooks, combine the cilantro crema ingredients in a small bowl.

Either warm the tortillas in the oven or if you have a propane stove, you can carefully put the tortilla on the open propane flame on the stove top and “toast” until warm and browned to your liking.

Plate up your tacos and enjoy!
