Asian Salmon Tacos
- Prep Time: :15
- Cook Time: :05
- Total Time: :20
- Yield: 4 1x
- Category: Dinner
- Method: Stovetop
- Cuisine: Fusion
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Shredded lettuce
- 8 corn tortillas (6 inches), warmed
- 1–1/2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
- Mango salsa, optional
- Chipolte Dipping Sauce
Instructions
- Toss salmon with hoisin sauce. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook salmon until it begins to flake easily with a fork, 3-5 minutes, turning gently to brown all sides.
- Serve salmon and lettuce in tortillas; sprinkle with sesame seeds. If desired, top with salsa.
Notes
- Look for thick center pieces of salmon so your cubes will be consistently sized for even cooking.
- Hoisin sauce is used as both a sauce and condiment in Chinese and Vietnamese cooking. Its flavor is distinctive in two Chinese classics: char siu and moo shu pork.
- The flavor of hoisin sauce varies quite a bit between brands, so feel free to adjust the amount used.
- Black sesame seeds have a slightly nuttier flavor than white ones. If you don’t have them, use toasted white sesame seeds instead.
