Salmon Tacos with Grapefruit Salsa

Ingredients

  • 4 wild caught salmon fillets

  • 3/4 tsp ground cumin

  • 3/4 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt

  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper

  • 3 tbsp ghee (you can also use olive oil)

  • 1 avocado, chopped

  • 1 large grapefruit, peeled, sliced into sections over a bowl, and chopped into small pieces, juice reserved

  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro

  • 3 medium scallions

  • 1 jalapeno, finely chopped

  • 12 corn tortillas, warmed

  • 1 tbsp sour cream

Instructions

Pat salmon dry. Stir together cumin, paprika, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle mixture on flesh sides of fillets.

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high; add oil. When oil is hot, carefully place salmon in skillet, skin side down. Reduce heat to medium and gently press each fillet with a spatula to flatten. Cook until salmon is opaque 3/4 of the way up sides, 6 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.

Stir together avocado, grapefruit, grapefruit juice, cilantro, scallions, jalapeño, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.

Break salmon into large pieces and serve on tortillas with grapefruit salsa and, if using, sour cream.
