Chef-Boy-I-Be Illinois' Salmon Tacos

Recipe #300357 | 21 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 4 -6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Chef-Boy-I-Be Illinois

Salmon is one of the healthy fish that contain high amounts of Omega-3 fatty acid and partner and I try to eat it once a week, so I'm always looking for new ways to prepare it. Fish tacos are very popular in Southern California and the Baja of Mexico; and, who doesn't like Mexican cuisine. All of the recipes I've seen use various white fish, call for battering and frying the fish, and contain numerous steps. I played around last night and came up with a combination that my dear partner and I loved. I hope you will too! This is fast and easy to prepare, and won't heat your kitchen up during the Spring and Summer months.

Ingredients

  • lb wild alaskan salmon
  • 1 (16 ounce) bag shredded cabbage with carrot (coleslaw mix)
  • cup low-fat sour cream
  • medium onion, chopped
  • 2 lime, juice of
  • tablespoon dried ancho chile powder
  • teaspoons dried ancho chile powder
  • teaspoon ground cumin
  • tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • sea salt
  • pepper
  • taco shell
  • tortilla
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Rub salmon with salt and 2 teaspoons of ancho chili powder. Cook (grill, oven, George Foreman, pan) salmon until it easily flakes. Allow to cool until can handle then flake.
    2. 2
      Meanwhile, combine sour cream, lime juice, 1 tablespoon ancho chili powder, ground cumin, cilantro, salt and pepper in serving bowl.
    3. 3
      Add the flaked salmon, cabbage, and onion. Combine well and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes to allow cabbage to macerate. This does not keep well (unfortunately the cabbage continue to wilt, and it's better if still a little crispy), so don't allow it to sit too long.
    4. 4
      Serve with your choice of tacos or tortillas, and sides of condiments to include salsa, sour cream, avocado, green onion, etc.
