Pan-seared Salmon Tacos with Cabbage Slaw & Lime Crema

Pan-seared Salmon Tacos with Cabbage Slaw & Lime Crema

By Sharon Matuck

Total: 30 minutes
Main courseTacosSeafoodMexican

Ingredients

  • 142 g Salmon fillet
  • 3 small Corn tortillas
  • 1 cup Shredded cabbage
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 whole Lime
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Chili powder

Instructions

1

Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder.

2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.

3

While the salmon is cooking, prepare the cabbage slaw by mixing the shredded cabbage, half of the lime juice, and chopped cilantro in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and toss to combine.

4

In a separate small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt or sour cream with the remaining lime juice to make the lime crema. Season with a pinch of salt to taste.

5

Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, break it into large chunks.

6

Briefly heat the corn tortillas in the same skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side to warm them up.

7

Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of salmon chunks on each tortilla. Top with cabbage slaw and drizzle with lime crema. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.
