Ingredients:

For the salmon:

• 1 salmon filet

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp pepper

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp chili powder

• 1/4 tsp dried dill weed

• 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

For the mango cucumber slaw:

• 2 Tbsp shredded cabbage

• 2 Tbsp diced mango

• 2 Tbsp diced cucumber

For the yogurt sauce:

• 1 Tbsp plain Greek yogurt

• 1 tsp lime juice

• 1 tsp water

• 1 tsp dried dill weed

For the tacos:

• 2 corn tortillas, warmed/toasted

• 1/2 avocado, sliced

Recipe:

For the salmon:

1. Using a medium-large cutting board, skin the salmon filet. Cut the skinned filet in half, lengthwise, to create two stick-like slices of salmon.

2. On a medium-sized plate, combine and spread out all spices.

3. Roll the salmon slices in the spices on the plate, covering all sides of the salmon evenly and completely. Rub it in well!

4. Pour extra virgin olive oil into a large pan over high heat. Once the oil is hot, place the salmon slices into the pan and cook for ~3 minutes on one side, until the seasonings have darkened. Flip the salmon onto the next side, cooking for about ~2 minutes. Quickly sear the remaining sides for about 20-30 seconds each.

5. Remove the salmon from heat (be sure to take out of the pan to avoid additional cooking), and place to the side until taco assembly!

For the mango cucumber slaw:

1. In a small bowl, combine equal parts of the shredded cabbage, diced mango, and diced cucumber. Squeeze a lime on top and mix thoroughly until well combined. Set aside until taco assembly!

For the yogurt sauce:

1. In a small bowl or blender, combine all ingredients. Stir/blend well until thoroughly combined and a cohesive sauce is formed. Set aside until taco assembly!

For the tacos:

1. Place the toasted tortillas next to each other on a large plate.

2. Place 1/2 of the avocado into each tortilla (about 2-3 slices per tortilla).

3. Place a salmon slice into each tortilla.

4. Top tacos with 1/2 of the slaw each and a drizzle of the yogurt sauce. Enjoy!
