Ingredients
1 pound fresh Atlantic salmon
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
pinch crushed red pepper flakes
4 Naan breads
Slaw:
4 cups shredded green cabbage or coleslaw mix
3 mini seedless cucumbers, sliced
⅓ cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
Cilantro Sauce:
½ cup fresh cilantro
¼ avocado
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
salt and pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to 400 to 450 degrees F. (or use a charcoal grill)
Pat the salmon dry with a towel. Stir together the paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic powder and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle all over the salmon.
Place the salmon on the grill. Close the lid and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until it's opaque and pink. Remove the salmon and let it sit for 5 minutes.
While the salmon rests, place the naan bread on the grill and grill for just 1-2 minutes per side, until warm and slightly charred.
To build the meal, spoon the slaw over the naan bread. Top with some flaked salmon. Drizzle on the cilantro sauce. Enjoy!
