Ingredients
1 serving of raw salmon
Pinch of salt and pepper
1-2 teaspoons of Cajun spice
1 dessert spoon of tasteless coconut oil
Salsa
1 diced mango or apple
1 large ripe avocado, diced
1/4 red onion, sliced thinly – optional
2 small tomatoes, diced
Juice of 1 lime, plus wedges for serving
Freshly chopped coriander for garnish – optional
Instead of the above salsa ingredients you could use any vegetable or salad as a replacement.
2 small tortillas gluten free per person – warmed or grilled
Method
- Pat salmon dry, then evenly season all sides of the filets with salt, pepper, and Cajun spice.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. When oil is hot but not smoking, add salmon. Cook until golden, about 5 to 6 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until salmon is opaque.
- Allow to rest and cool slightly, then flake into large pieces.
- Make avocado salsa in a medium bowl – add mango or apple, avocado, onion, tomatoes, and lime juice. Season with salt and toss to combine.
- Assemble tacos – fill flat bread with salmon, avocado salsa, and coriander. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing.
For beef, been, chicken, tofu or prawn tacos –
Slice 1 tomato, 2 cups of Cos lettuce, and 2 pieces of shallots. Garnish with guacamole (blend 1 avocado, 1 clove of garlic, 1 tsp of olive oil, 1 tbsp of lemon juice, salt and pepper – then add finely chopped tomato and red onion) and add cooked protein of your choice.
