Ingredients

  • 1
    garlic clove, chopped
  • 1
    Serrano chile, seeded and chopped
  • 2
    Tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2
    Tablespoons water
  • 2
    Tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
  • 4
    Alaska Salmon fillets (4 to 6 oz. each), fresh, thawed or frozen
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8
    small (6 to 7-inch) flour tortillas, warmed
  • 2
    large, navel oranges, peeled, pithed and segmented
  • ½
    cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1
    cup fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine garlic, chile and 1 Tablespoon oil in a heavy nonstick skillet. Sauté over medium heat until garlic and chile are soft. Remove pan from heat; place garlic and chile in a small bowl. When cool, add water and juice concentrate; blend.

  2. 2

    Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Salmon under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Return skillet to medium-high heat. Brush both sides of salmon with remaining oil. Place fillets in heated skillet and cook, uncovered, about 3 to 4 minutes, until browned. Shake pan occasionally to keep fish from sticking.

  3. 3

    Turn fillets over and season with salt and pepper. Cover pan tightly and reduce heat to medium. Cook an additional 6 to 8 minutes for frozen salmon or 3 to 4 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout. Remove skin, if any, and break into large chunks.

  4. 4

    To serve, divide salmon among tortillas. Top with 2 to 3 orange slices, 1 tablespoon red onion slices, 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves and ½ tablespoon chile-citrus sauce.
