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 g arlic 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
Steps
-
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.
