    Description

    Salmon tacos served with an easy-to-make side of slaw makes for a filling- and fast-weeknight dinner. If you prefer more heat, add a pinch or two of chipotle chili powder or cayenne along with the chili powder.

    Directions

    1. Position oven rack in upper third of the oven. Preheat broiler to high.
    2. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the salmon, skin-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Broil until starting to brown and salmon is opaque on the sides, 5 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness.
    3. Sprinkle the salmon with chili powder and ¼ teaspoon salt. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil and brush with a heat-proof brush to moisten the spices. Return to the oven, roast until the fish just flakes and the spices are browned, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
    4. Meanwhile, toss coleslaw mix with lime juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt.
    5. Flake the salmon; discard skin. Divide the salmon among tortillas and top with salsa. Serve with the coleslaw and garnish with cilantro and hot sauce, if desired.
