👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Slice the salmon into large cubes (~1 inch / 2.5cms). Remove any bones, I prefer to also remove the the skin, then place in a bowl
2. 2Add spices to a small bowl with the olive oil and whisk to combine
3. 3Pour the marinade over the salmon cubes and mix to coat. Leave to marinate for at least 10 minutes or longer if you have the time
4. 4Whilst the salmon is marinating, prepare the fish taco slaw. Add the dressing ingredients - Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, lime juice with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk togetherMore detailed slaw recipe here
5. 5Thinly slice the cabbage and carrots using either a mandolin or sharp knife. Slice the green onions and cilantro - including the stems. *Optional finally dice fresh or pickled jalapenos for spice
6. 6Add the chopped veggies to the dressing and toss. Taste for seasoning and add the 3rd spoon of mayonnaise if needed. Let it stand for 5- 10 minutes while cooking the salmon
7. 7Heat a skillet to a medium-high heat with a light drizzle of oil or oil spray. Place down salmon cubes in a single layer and cook for 4 -7 minutes, flipping halfway when you see it has a nice brown char (cook time depends on how cooked you prefer your salmon). *If you prefer to air fry the salmon bites - refer recipe here
8. 8Whilst salmon is cooking, slice the avocado and heat tortillas on a skillet or carefully using the open flame on the stove top
9. 9Assemble tacos by adding avocado slices, taco slaw and 2-3 pieces of the salmon cubes - I prefer to then roughly flake the salmon with the back of a forkGarnish with a squeeze of lime juice and optional drizzle of sriracha aioli or mayo and enjoy your delicious salmon tacos!
