Published: 8/17/2026

A modern Nordic-fusion taco. The caramelized honey-soy salmon is balanced by a crisp, acidic cabbage slaw for a refreshing, high-protein meal.

Ingredients (8 tacos)

• 1.5 lbs (680 g) salmon fillet
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) honey and 2 tbsp (30 ml) soy sauce (for the glaze)
• 2 cups (150 g) shredded cabbage
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) vinegar and 1 tsp (4 g) sugar (for the slaw)
• 8 small protein tortillas

Instructions

1. Glaze and bake the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 12 minutes.
2. Mix the cabbage with the vinegar and sugar; let it sit for 10 minutes to quick-pickle.
3. Flake the salmon into the tortillas and top with the slaw.

Pro Tips

• The Acidic Slaw Is Essential: The tangy slaw cuts through the richness of the salmon and the sweetness of the glaze for a perfectly balanced bite.
