Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 pieces butterhead or iceberg lettuce leaves
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lime juice (for crema)
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 1 whole avocado, sliced
• 4 whole radishes, thinly sliced
• 1 whole jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.

Step 3

Brush the marinade generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring all sides are coated.

Step 4

Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

While the salmon is grilling, prepare the lime crema by whisking together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro in a small bowl.

Step 6

Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes. Gently flake the fish into bite-sized pieces with a fork.

Step 7

To assemble the tacos, lay out the lettuce leaves as taco shells. Fill each leaf with flaked salmon, then top with sliced avocado, radishes, jalapeño (if using), and a drizzle of lime crema. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped cilantro for garnish.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your zesty keto-friendly grilled salmon tacos!
