PREPARATION

  • Prepare the Salmon:
    In a bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice.
    Rub the mixture onto the salmon fillet and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  • Grill the Salmon:
    Preheat your grill or pan to medium-high heat.
    Cook the salmon for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily.
    Remove from heat and break into chunks.

  • Make the Avocado Crema:
    In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, garlic, salt, and cilantro.
    Blend until smooth and creamy.

  • Assemble the Tacos:
    Warm the tortillas.
    Add a layer of shredded cabbage, top with grilled salmon, spoon over avocado crema, and garnish with tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.
    Serve with lime wedges on the side.
