Description
Spicy jerk seasoned salmon served in tacos topped with a creamy avocado cilantro lime sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb salmon fillet, skin removed
- 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
- 1/4 cup shredded cabbage for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rub the salmon fillet evenly with jerk seasoning and olive oil.
- Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through. Flake the salmon with a fork.
- While the salmon cooks, prepare the sauce. Combine avocado, cilantro, lime juice, water, and salt in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Add sour cream or yogurt if using.
- Warm the tortillas according to package directions (usually a few seconds per side in a dry skillet).
- Assemble the tacos: Place flaked jerk salmon onto each warm tortilla.
- Top the salmon with a drizzle of the avocado cilantro lime sauce and shredded cabbage.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can grill the salmon instead of baking for a smokier flavor.
- Adjust the amount of lime juice to match your preferred tartness.
- If you prefer a thinner sauce, add water one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
