Ingredients

  • 1-2 teaspoons chipotle chile powder
  • 1 pound skinless salmon fillet, cut into 4 pieces
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • Salt
  • Lime wedges
  • 2 Hass avocados, diced
  • 1 mango, diced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • Fresh lime juice and extra limes for garnish
  • Shredded red cabbage
  • Chipotles in adobo
  • ½ cup Sour Cream

Instructions

  • Rub each piece of salmon with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and dust with the chipotle powder. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a grill pan. Season the salmon with salt and grill over high heat until nicely browned and just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the cooked salmon.
  • While the salmon is cooking, combine the diced avocado, mango and cilantro in a small bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt, pepper and lime juice.
  • Combine some of the sour cream and a few teaspoons of the liquid from the chipotles in adobo in a bowl and whisk to combine for a spicy crema. Char the tortillas until slightly darkened.
  • Gently break each piece of salmon into large chunks and evenly distribute in the tortillas on top of a little bit of shredded cabbage. Add equal amounts of the salsa and serve as needed with the chipotle crema drizzled on top.
