Crunchy Slaw & Salmon Tacos

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp. Ground Ginger
• 2 1/2 tsp. Kosher Salt, divided
• 2 1/2 tsp. Ground Black Pepper, divided
• 2 tsp. Garlic Powder, divided
• Four 6 oz. Salmon Fillets, cut into 1”–1”5 strips or
• One + Half 14 oz. Blocks Extra Firm Tofu, cut the same way; wrap tofu in cloth to remove excess moisture for 5 – 10 min.
• 1/2 cup Cornstarch
• 1/2 cup White Whole Wheat or All Purpose or Almond Flour
• 16 oz. bag Tri-Color Cabbage (Coleslaw mix)
• 1/2 bunch Green Onions (3) thinly sliced
• 2 Tbsp. Fresh Cilantro, chopped
• 3 Tbsp. White Wine Vinegar or White (Clear) Balsamic Vinegar
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. Raw Honey or Granulated Sugar
• 1 tsp. Fresh Lime Juice (also 2 more limes wedged for serving)
• 8 Tbsp. Avocado Oil, divided
• 6” Corn Tortillas
• Optional Additions: Diced Tomatoes, Salsa, Hot Sauce

Directions:

1. Make salmon rub by combining ginger, 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. pepper, and 1 tsp. garlic powder in a small dish. Rub all over fish or tofu strips. Whisk cornstarch, flour, 1 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. pepper together in a shallow tray.
2. Dredge each fish or tofu strip through flour mixture, tapping off any excess. Transfer to a tray that will fit in the freezer; it’s ok to stack the strips. When finished, cover and place fish or tofu into the freezer for 15 – 20 min.
3. Meanwhile, make crunchy slaw by tossing together cabbage, green onions, and cilantro in a bowl. In another bowl, combine vinegar, honey, lime juice, remaining salt, pepper, garlic, and 2 Tbsp. oil. Whisk to combine. Pour dressing over slaw mixture; cover and refrigerate until ready.
