PREP TIME:10minutes mins

COOK TIME:10minutes mins

MARINADE TIME:2hours hrs

TOTAL TIME:2hours hrs 20minutes mins

YIELD: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 pound wild salmon fillet (cut in half)
• ¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari)
• ¼ cup finely diced yellow onion
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 3 cups tri-color coleslaw
• 3 scallions (chopped)
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise ((I love Sir Kensington))
• 3 teaspoons gochujang (or Sempio Gluten Free Korean Gochujang)
• 8 6-inch corn tortillas

Instructions

• In a small measuring cup, combine the soy sauce, onion, sesame oil, ginger, brown sugar, garlic and sesame seeds.  Whisk to thoroughly combine.
• Set aside 2 tablespoons then place salmon in a shallow bowl or Tupperware container and add the rest of the marinade.
• Refrigerate and allow to marinate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. (If you don’t have time, you can let it marinade 20 minutes)
• In a medium bowl, add the mayonnaise, gochujang and 1 tablespoon water.
• Whisk to combine.  Add the coleslaw and scallions and toss to combine.
• Heat a clean outdoor grill (make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled) or if cooking indoors an oiled grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Place salmon pieces, flesh side down, on the grill and cook 3-5 minutes (thinner fillets will cook quicker than a thicker piece), or until salmon easily releases from the grill and is nicely charred.
• Carefully flip with a spatula, top each piece with a tablespoon of reserved marinade and cook an additional 2-4 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
• Set aside on a clean cutting board or plate.
• Meanwhile, heat the tortillas over an open flame, on the grill or microwave.
• Place 2 tortillas each on 4 plates.
• Using a spatula, break up the fish into pieces, sliding the spatula between the flesh and skin to remove the skin.
• Place a piece or 2 of salmon on each tortilla then top each with 1/3 cup slaw.  Repeat with remaining fish and slaw.  Serve immediately.

Notes

Variations: Try it with any white fish, cod or halibut also great. Or use shrimp instead.
