Ingredients

• 1 lb skinless salmon fillets
• 1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 8 corn tortillas
• 2 cups red cabbage (shredded)
• 1 large carrot (shredded)
• 0.25 cup cilantro (chopped)
• 1 large avocado
• 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsalted)
• 1 tbsp lime juice (for sauce)
• 0.25 tsp black pepper (for sauce)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the salmon marinates, prepare the slaw by combining shredded red cabbage, shredded carrot, and chopped cilantro in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Step 4

To make the avocado-lime sauce, mash the avocado in a small bowl. Mix in the Greek yogurt, lime juice, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the grilled salmon from the heat and let it rest for 2 minutes. Use a fork to gently flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces.

Step 8

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.

Step 9

To assemble the tacos, place a generous scoop of the slaw on each tortilla, top with flaked salmon, and drizzle with the avocado-lime sauce.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy these flavorful, low-sodium tacos!
