Blue Corn Tacos w/ Avocado Sauce & Salmon w/ Sumac
When I bought my blue corn tacos, I didn’t want to pair them up with meat but with fish. I was doubting between a white fish or salmon. The choice was quite simple when the supermarket in my neighbourhood had a good deal. I bought two pieces of salmon, which I seasoned and slightly crispen up on the outside in a pan. To go with this spiced salmon, I made an avocado sauce, added some crunchy lettuce, sprouts and sprinkled the lot with Sumac for that zingy touch!
Do give these Salmon Tacos a try, they easy to make and so delicious!

- Total: 1 hour
Fish
Ingredients
NOTE: This recipe makes 5 tacos.
- 250 gr salmon (2 pieces of Salmon)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp of chicken spices (“kipkruiden”)
- ½ tsp Pimenton
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp chili powder (or less)
- ½ tsp Sumac
- salt to taste
- non-stick pan
For the tacos:
- 5 blue corn tacos (or naturel from Albert Heijn)
- 1 batch avocado sauce (see below, I left out the onions and added coriander and a 1 tbsp of herb garlic cream cheese)
- lettuce
- sprouts
- coriander leaves
- black sesame seeds (optional)
- sumac (optional)
For the avocado sauce:
- 2 small avocados
- 1 tbsp coriander/cilantro
- a few slices of jalapeño pepper (depends on how hot you like your sauce)
- juice of 1 lime (if you like it less zingy, half is also fine)
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Marinade the salmon pieces with the spices and oil and let this sit for 30 minutes in the fridge.
- Then cook the pieces in 1 tbsp olive oil on medium heat for 8-10 minutes. Make sure the outside is semi crispy and the inside is fully cooked (unless you use fresh salmon).
- When the salmon is cooked, set this aside and let this chill.
- Prepare the avocado sauce and heat up your tacos.
- Then assemble the tacos by starting with some avocado sauce, followed by a good handful of lettuce, pieces of salmon and sprouts. Sprinkle with some fresh coriander, Sumac and black sesame seeds.
TIPS:
- Add mango pieces for a fruity note.
- Make a taco bowl and serve this salmon with rice, the avocado sauce, tomato, corn, cucumber and lettuce.
