Description:
These tacos are loaded with succulent salmon fillets marinated in a blend of citrus and spices, grilled to perfection, and served on warm corn tortillas. Topped with a refreshing avocado salsa and a zesty lime crema, they offer an explosion of flavor in every bite.
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp lime juice
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, juice of one lime, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture onto the salmon fillets evenly.
- Marinate the salmon fillets for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the salmon fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. Remove from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
- While the salmon is resting, prepare the avocado salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado, chopped red onion, diced tomato, and fresh cilantro. Mix gently to combine.
- To make the lime crema, mix the sour cream and 1 tablespoon of lime juice in a small bowl until smooth.
- Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side.
- To assemble the tacos, flake the salmon into large chunks and divide it among the warmed tortillas. Top with the avocado salsa and a dollop of the lime crema.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the delectable fusion of flavors!
