Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 4 oz each) salmon fillets (skinless)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 small pieces corn tortillas
• 2 cups red cabbage (finely shredded)
• 0.5 cup cilantro (chopped)
• 1 medium avocado (sliced)
• 0.5 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
• 4 pieces lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes for more flavor.

Step 3

While the salmon marinates, prepare the toppings: shred the red cabbage, chop the cilantro, slice the avocado, and set them aside.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the salmon from the marinade and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.

Step 6

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or stovetop for about 20 seconds on each side, just until pliable.

Step 7

In a small bowl, stir the Greek yogurt with a teaspoon of hot sauce (if desired) to create a tangy sauce for the tacos.

Step 8

Assemble the tacos by flaking the grilled salmon into bite-sized pieces and placing them on the warm tortillas. Top with shredded red cabbage, cilantro, avocado slices, and a dollop of the yogurt sauce.

Step 9

Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
