  • ½ tsp garlic salt
  • 1–2 Tbsp chopped green onion
  • 1 Tbsp finely chopped jalapeño, optional

  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • olive oil
  • 8 oz salmon
  • 8 corn tortillas, warmed
  • sliced jalapeño peppers, optional

Instructions

  1. Mash avocados in large bowl. Add lime juice, salt, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and salt. Mix well. Adjust juice and/or salt to taste. Top with seeds. Set aside. Combine ancho powder, paprika, and cumin in small bowl. Rub salmon, on each side, with spice mixture. Heat pan to medium heat. Add enough olive oil to lightly coat bottom of pan. Add salmon. Sear, about 3 minutes, on each side, or until cooked through. Break salmon into chunks. Divide among tortillas. Top with guacamole and jalapeños. Serves 3–4.

    Chef’s Note—For even more flavor and some greens, add Tassel Ridge Cabbage Slaw (recipe below) to Tacos before topping with Pomegranate Guacamole.
