Ingredients

Directions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.

Step 2: In a small bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and mix.

Step 3: Break salmon burgers into chunks and coat with seasoned breadcrumbs. Arrange on prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Step 5: While fish bakes, make slaw: In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, juice of 1 lemon, mayonnaise, and a pinch of salt. Toss well and refrigerate.

Step 6: In a small bowl, mix sour cream with juice of remaining lemon and a pinch of salt for the crema.

Step 7: Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame until pliable and slightly charred.

Step 8: To assemble tacos: Place crispy fish pieces in each tortilla, top with citrus slaw, avocado slices, a drizzle of lemon crema, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tip: For extra crispy fish, don't skip the breadcrumb coating. Pat fish dry before coating for best results. Warm tortillas directly over a gas flame for authentic char marks.
