Chipotle grilled salmon tacos

Grilling salmon in the oven over very high heat is a great way to scorch the surface but be left with perfectly cooked salmon inside. Paired with some easy punchy ingredients, it makes for a very easy taco dish.

Ingredients

  • 500 g piece salmon, centre cut, skin off and pin boned, at room temperature
  • 1 tbsp chipotles in adobo sauce or 2 tsp chipotle powder
  • 1 ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 50 g butter
  • 2 limes, juiced, plus extra wedges to serve
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 100 g pickled jalapeños and pickle juice from jar
  • 1 large avocado
  • 1 medium bunch coriander, leaves picked, stalks chopped
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 200 g sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven grill to high. Place the salmon on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
  2. Combine chipotle, garlic powder, onion powder and butter in a bowl. Season, then brush over salmon. Grill salmon for 8 minutes or until charred and just cooked. Drizzle with 1 lime and set aside to rest.
  3. Combine the cucumber and pickled jalapeños (with the jalapeño pickling liquid). Set aside until ready to use.
  4. Chop the avocado, toss with coriander stalks and drizzle over juice of 1 lime. Season to taste.
  5. Toast the tacos in a dry frypan to give them some colour, or warm a stack of them up in the oven, wrapped in foil. Spread the tacos with some sour cream. Add some flaked salmon, avocado, cucumber and jalapeno pickle and the coriander leaves. Serve with extra lime wedges.
