Salmon Tacos with Avocado Salsa and Cilantro-Orange Slaw
- 2 whole Ripe Avocados, Cut Into Small Pieces
- 1 whole Tomato, Roughly Chopped
- 1 whole Shallot Or 1 Clove Garlic, Minced
- 1 whole Jalapeno, Seeds And Veins Removed, Finely Chopped (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 1 whole Lime, Juice Only (to Taste)
- 1/2 whole Small Onion, Very Thinly Sliced
- 1 Tablespoon Vinegar (any Type, But I Prefer Apple Cider Or Rice Vinegar)
- 1/2 heads Cabbage
- 1 whole Medium Carrot
- 1/2 cups Cilantro Leaves, Roughly Chopped
- 1 whole Orange, Peeled And Cut Into Wedges
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 16 ounces, weight Salmon Fillet
- 6 whole Small Flour Tortillas, For Serving
- Make the salsa: In a small bowl, gently toss together the avocados, tomato, shallot, and jalepeno.
- (Be careful not to mash the avocado too much or you will end up with guacamole.)
- Add lime juice, salt and pepper a bit at a time, to taste.
- Set aside.
- Make the slaw: Combine the onions and vinegar in a medium-sized serving bowl, tossing to combine.
- Let the onions rest in the vinegar for 10 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
- Thinly slice the cabbage and shred the carrot using a box grater.
- Add the cabbage, carrot, cilantro and orange to the onions, tossing gently to coat the ingredients in the vinegar.
- Set aside.
- Just before serving toss the slaw once more and taste, adding an additional splash of vinegar if needed.
- Cook the salmon: Heat oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat.
- Season the salmon with salt and pepper and place skin-side up in the hot oil.
- Cook the salmon until just cooked through, flipping it halfway through cooking.
- (Depending on the thickness of the fillets, this should take 2-4 minutes on each side.)
- Remove from the pan and transfer to a serving platter.
- Using a fork, gently break the salmon apart into bite-size pieces.
- Serve immediately with warmed tortillas, topped with salsa, with the slaw on the side.
- Note: To warm the tortillas, cover them with a cloth napkin and heat in the microwave for 10 seconds.
