Ingredients
2 Tbsp. olive oil, plus more for the baking sheet
2 tsp. chipotle chili powder
2 tsp. honey
1 garlic clove, grated
Grated zest and juice of 2 limes, plus wedges for serving
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 1/2 lb. center-cut salmon (in one piece), skin removed
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup fresh dill
4 scallions, roughly chopped
1 (10-ounce) bag of shredded slaw mix
12 fajita-sized flour tortillas, warmed
Sliced avocado and thinly sliced radishes, for topping
Directions
1.
Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Brush a baking sheet with olive oil. Combine
the chili powder, honey, garlic, the zest and juice of 1 lime, 1
tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a small
bowl.
2. Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet and rub both sides with the chili powder mixture.
3. Bake the salmon until the thickest part flakes easily with a fork and the flesh is opaque, 10 to 12 minutes.
4.
Meanwhile, combine the yogurt, dill, scallions, and the remaining 1
tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a
blender or food processor and process until smooth.
5. Toss the slaw mix with the yogurt dressing in a large bowl.
6.
To build the tacos, flake the salmon into large pieces. Add a couple
pieces of salmon and some slaw to each tortilla and top with avocado and
radishes. Serve with lime wedges.
