A great little paleo salmon appetizer, or serve as a main course. Delicious lettuce "cups" with salmon and coleslaw, all topped with a creamy, homemade avocado sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 to 2 tbsp Everyday Seasoning Salt, recipe link here
- 2 fresh salmon filets (to grill or pan fry)
- 1/4 cup Avocado Sauce, recipe link here
- 2 to 3 cups pre-packaged cole slaw mix or shredded cabbage
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 head of butter lettuce (aka Boston or bibb lettuce)
- 1 orange, sliced into sections (optional seasoning)
Instructions
- To save time, you can prepare the Everyday Seasoning Salt and Avocado Sauce before starting (See recipe links to those below)
- Season salmon fillets generously with Everyday Seasoning Salt (or your favorite seasoning). Pat fillet lightly to adhere and drizzle each with a little olive oil or avocado oil
- Heat grill to medium high. Grill salmon 5-8 minutes, turning once. Cook just until fillets easily flake but are still moist. Remove from grill and set aside temporarily to cool. (Instead of grilling, salmon fillets can be pan-fried or baked if desired)
- In a small mixing bowl, combine cole slaw mix (or shredded cabbage) with chopped cilantro leaves and juice of 1 lime. Salt to taste
- Rinse butter lettuce leaves, and spin-dry in salad spinner, or lightly blot dry with paper towels. Select the best cup-shaped leaves to create your lettuce wrap tacos
- Break apart cooled salmon fillets. Place salmon pieces inside lettuce wrap tacos, and sprinkle each with the cole slaw mixture
- Finish each lettuce wrap taco with a healthy drizzle of Avocado Sauce
