Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • a pinch of sugar
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 500 g (1.1 lb) salmon fillets

For the chipotle lime yogurt:

  • 200 ml (7.3 oz) fat-free yogurt
  • 1 tbsp chipotle paste or chilli sauce
  • 1 lime juiced
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

To serve:

  • 8 mini soft flour tortillas warmed
  • quarter of a small iceberg lettuce finely shredded
  • a small bunch of coriander sprigs
  • a few pickled jalapeno chillis
  • lime wedges
  • hot chilli sauce (optional)

Instructions

  • Rub the garlic salt, paprika, sugar and some seasoning into the flesh of the salmon fillet. Heat the grill to high.
  • Mix the yogurt, chipotle paste or chilli sauce and lime juice together in a small bowl with some seasoning, and set aside. Place the salmon on a baking tray lined with tin foil and grill, skin side down, for 7 to 8 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the grill and carefully peel off and discard the skin.
  • Flake the salmon into large chunks and serve with the warmed tortillas, chipotle lime yogurt, shredded lettuce, coriander sprigs, chillis and lime wedges. Add a shake of hot chilli sauce, if you like.

Notes

  • Optional variations:
    • Add mango chunks or pineapple salsa for a tropical twist.
    • Make it into a bowl by serving the salmon, toppings and sauce over rice or quinoa.
    • Use gluten-free corn tortillas to make it gluten-free.
  • This grilled salmon tacos with chipotle lime yogurt recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
