Dry-Rubbed Salmon Tacos with Tomatillo-Avocado Slaw

Rate & Review

(332 people have added this recipe to their favorites.)

For maximum flavor in minimal time, chef Jeff Smith opts for spice rubs over marinades. After experimenting with spice blends for heartier fish, he discovered that a big pinch of ground coffee lends earthiness to the rub.

Pairing Suggestion

Smith looks for spicy wines, like Zinfandel or Charbono, to complement the rub for his salmon. Robert Foley makes arguably the best Charbono in California. However, it’s hard to find. For a Zinfandel with similar richness, try the exotic 2004 Bucklin Old Hill Ranch Zinfandel.

Dry-Rubbed Salmon Tacos with Tomatillo-Avocado Slaw

The salmon tasted great here, but I thought the slaw and dressing was really the outstanding player. I would use this alone for a fun and interesting salad anyday! As for the entire package, I also made an easy pineapple salsa with a bit of cilantro and shallot, sprinkled with some crumbled cojita, and it was simply delicious - everyone loved this! I'm making some yummy salads with the leftovers!!! (I made waaaay too much, as usual!) I might change up the seasoning a smidge next time, perhaps some sweet paprika in addition, or something a bit spicier - the coffee in the recipe was really good.

I loved this recipe.  Takes a little time to prep, but I prepped the slaw dressing and the rub mixture the day before and then it was a super simple dinner.  I used packaged coleslaw mix.  I also added black beans to the tacos.  Delicious.  Have made 3 times.
