From Cook's Country - October/November 2014
Skin-on salmon fillets hold together during cooking, and the skin helps keep the fish moist.
Our favorite chili powder is Morton & Bassett Chili Powder.
Serves: 4

3 cups (8 1/4 oz) coleslaw mix
1 small red onion, halved and sliced thin
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 Tbsp lime juice
Salt
Pepper
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tsp chili powder
2 (6 oz) skin-on salmon fillets, 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas, warmed

1. Combine coleslaw mix, onion, 1/4 cup cilantro, 5 teaspoons lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in bowl. Whisk sour cream, remaining 1 teaspoon lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in separate bowl. Combine chili powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; season salmon with spice mixture.

2. Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Cook salmon, skin side up, until well browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until salmon registers 125 degrees (for medium-rare), 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer salmon to plate and let cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Using 2 forks, flake fish into 1-inch pieces; discard skin. Divide fish evenly among tortillas. Top with coleslaw mixture, sour cream mixture, and remaining 1/4 cup cilantro. Serve.
