Instructions

Step 1

Step 1 Stir together ginger, garlic, chili powder, cumin, lime juice, 1 Tbsp. oil, and 1 tsp. kosher salt in a medium bowl to create a paste. Add salmon to bowl and toss until evenly coated. Let salmon sit at room temperature 15 minutes to marinate.

Step 2

Step 2 Whisk together the olive oil, honey and lime juice in a large serving bowl. Add the red cabbage and cilantro and toss well. Season with salt.

Step 3

Step 3 Meanwhile, mix red onion, jalapenos, pineapple, ¼ cup cilantro, Roma tomatoes and remaining 3 Tbsp. lime juice in a medium bowl to combine; season with salt. Set pineapple salsa aside.

Step 4

Step 4 Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add salmon and reduce heat to medium. Cook, undisturbed, until opaque all the way through and a browned crust forms underneath, about 5 minutes. Turnover and cook until second side is browned and flesh easily flakes with a fork, about 3 minutes. Transfer salmon to a plate and flake into large pieces with a fork; squeeze a couple of lime wedges over.

Step 5

Step 5 Char the tortillas on the stove-top (gas stoves only) until the edges are lightly burnt. Fill each tortilla with salmon, red cabbage, and pineapple salsa, a sprinkle of cilantro, a drizzle of fresh lime.
