instructions
    1

    Begin by preheating your grill or skillet over medium-high heat (about 5 minutes).

    2

    While that's heating, season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper.

    3

    Drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil over the salmon, coating it evenly.

    4

    Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it flakes easily with a fork.

    5

    Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

    6

    Meanwhile, prepare your toppings: shred the cabbage, dice the avocado, and chop the cilantro.

    7

    In a small bowl, combine the sour cream with lime juice from half the lime, mixing well for a creamy dressing.

    8

    After the salmon has rested, flake it gently with a fork.

    9

    To assemble your tacos, take a tortilla and layer it with flaked salmon, shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and cilantro.

    Drizzle the sour cream mixture on top, and finish with a squeeze of lime juice.
