Instructions

Prepare your salsa & sauce beforehand OR while salmon is cooking – whatever works best for you!

Make the salsa: In a medium-large bowl, mix together the tomato, bell pepper, corn, red onion, cilantro/parsley, and lime juice. Keep covered in fridge if making beforehand!
Make the sauce: In a small jar or container, mix the tahini, lemon zest & juice, dijon, and garlic powder until well combined (use a fork or small whisk). Keep covered in fridge if making beforehand!
Prepare & cook the salmon: Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with tinfoil and spray it with oil to prevent sticking. Place salmon on prepared sheets, sprinkle on cumin, chilli powder, salt & pepper, and bake for 25-40 minutes (depending on size!).
Assemble to tacos: Heat the tortillas on a pan until warm & slightly crispy. Top with spinach or arugula, tomato corn salsa, salmon, avocado, and zesty tahini sauce.

Notes

*You may use shrimp or white fish as well.

**If you don’t have tahini or don’t like it, try using cashew butter or sunflower butter instead.

Any leftovers can easily be transformed into a salad, rice bowl, or wrap the next day, or the salsa can be used on avocado toast or with some baked tortilla chips.

For Gluten Free: Use gluten free tortillas

For Vegan: Cook some tofu or tempeh instead of the salmon! Season it similarly, with cumin, chili powder, and salt & pepper.
