Ingredients

• 1 pound salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 lime
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 corn tortillas
• 1 cup red cabbage
• 1 avocado
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 teaspoons hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, juice of half a lime, garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Brush the salmon fillets with the olive oil mixture on both sides.

Step 4

Once the grill is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down and grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

While the salmon is grilling, prepare the toppings by shredding the red cabbage and slicing the avocado.

Step 6

Chop the fresh cilantro and set aside.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, the juice of the remaining half of the lime, and hot sauce for the creamy sauce.

Step 8

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side, just until they're pliable.

Step 9

Once the salmon is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before flaking into large pieces.

Step 10

Assemble the tacos by placing flaked salmon onto each tortilla, followed by red cabbage, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Step 11

Drizzle each taco with the sour cream sauce and serve with lime wedges on the side for extra zest.
