Introduction
A fresh and vibrant 20-minute meal featuring crispy seared salmon seasoned with fresh lime zest. Paired with a blended sweetcorn salsa, smoky chipotle cabbage slaw, creamy avocado, and sour cream on warm corn tortillas.
Step 1
Prepare the salsa: add 1 drained tin of sweetcorn, half of the fresh coriander bunch (torn in half), and the juice of 1 lime into a blender. Blend until smooth and vibrant green.
Step 2
Prep the vegetables: slice the tomato into rounds and season with a pinch of salt. Halve the avocado, remove the stone, scoop out and slice the flesh, then squeeze fresh lime juice over the avocado slices to prevent oxidation.
Step 3
Make the chipotle slaw: finely shred the white cabbage and place it into a bowl or container. Add chipotle paste and toss thoroughly until the cabbage is well coated.
Step 4
Prepare the salmon: slice the salmon fillet into three equal strips. Finely zest fresh lime over the salmon pieces and season lightly with salt.
Step 5
Sear the salmon: heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Place the salmon strips into the pan skin-side down and sear for about 2 minutes per side until the skin is crispy and the fish is cooked through.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Squeezing fresh lime juice immediately onto the sliced avocado prevents it from browning while you finish prepping.
Warming the tortillas directly in the skillet alongside the salmon saves time and allows the tortillas to pick up subtle pan flavors.
Searing the salmon skin-side down first ensures a crispy texture and prevents the delicate fish from breaking apart.
