Recipe: Coffee and Spice-Rubbed Salmon Tacos with Tomatillo-Avocado-Cilantro Slaw

Sunday night I took a stab at a healthy and easy recipe courtesy of cupcakes and cashmere and Food&Wine.

I really, really loved it and really only made a few minor adjustments. I used fat-free white flour tortillas, microwaved, rather than piling up a bunch of corn flour tortillas in the oven (I am lazy but try to be healthy at the same time).

Also because I am in NYC and NOT a baller (yet) I do not have a grill. So I just seared the top of the fish (placed the salmon skin-side up in a skillet) for about a minute, then threw it in the oven at 300 degrees for probably 10 minutes, until the salmon was light pink all the way through. So easy.

Finally, Whole Foods did not have any pretty purple cabbage, so I had to use regular white. I think purple's a little more bitter, which I would have preferred, especially with the richness of the sour cream, avocado and salmon, so I'd recommend buying purple if you can find it.

If you're not a salmon fan, I'd try Artic Char, which is a lighter-tasting (and less fishy-tasting, if you are sensitive) pink, flaky fish.

All in all, a lovely, rich, healthy dish. I'm also obsessed with tomatillos and am on the hunt for more recipes with them. They're like a lime crossed with a green tomato and smell AMAZING.

Enjoy guys! My final sunday meal for one above. :D
