These Mexican inspired tacos are great. Serve the salmon grilled for the perfect lunch. Loaded into corn tortillas with a smoky tomato salsa roja and shredded white cabbage, they're perfect with a Lipton Ice Tea!

Method

  • Start by charring the cherry tomatoes in a skillet. Once there’s some black spots all over, add to a food processor with onion, chilli, garlic, and lime juice.
  • Stir through the chopped coriander and olive oil, check the seasoning and set aside.
  • Finely chop your garlic until it’s almost a paste, then add it to a bowl with the chipotle paste, orange juice, sugar, spices, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well, taste, and adjust as necessary.
  • Dice your salmon into cubes, then add to the marinade. Cover, and leave in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven grill. Place the marinated salmon cubes over a tray, pop under the grill for 7 minutes or until it’s nicely caramelised.
  • Warm the tortillas over the hob, then assemble the tacos - shredded cabbage, salmon, a nice drizzle of salsa, and a squeeze of lime. Enjoy!
