- 4 salmon filet portions thawed if frozen
- 2 tsp Mexican-style chili powder
- kosher salt
- 1 tbsp avocado oil (or other high-heat cooking oil)
- 2 cups packaged slaw mix
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ - 1 whole jalapeno (depending on heat preference), minced
- ½ tsp cumin seeds toasted
- 1 ripe avocado sliced
- 4 hamburger buns toasted if desired
Preheat the grill on medium for 10 minutes, or preheat your favourite skillet or pan on medium.
Meanwhile, pat the salmon dry with paper towels and rub with the chili powder and ½ tsp salt.
Oil the cooking grates and place salmon skin-side down over direct heat. Close grill and cook for about 3 minutes.
When salmon lifts easily from the grates, it’s properly seared. Flip salmon and continue cooking until it reaches 125-130ºF internal temperature (1-3 minutes more, depending on fish thickness and your grill). Transfer salmon to a plate and cover it to rest.
Combine the slaw mix with the mayo, jalapeno, cumin seeds and about ⅓ tsp more salt.
Slice the buns in half crosswise and add a salmon portion to one side. Top with avocado slices and slaw mixture.
