"You piss me off you Salmon... You're too expensive in restaurants." -Eddie Izzard, Comedian
This is a great variation on tacos using the healthiest of all ingredients – salmon, avocado, pumpkin seeds, olive oil and veggies. It's really simple to make and the clean up is easy too. If you don't like the cabbage, use any lettuce or even spinach.
Another example of the way a Mediterranean diet can be adapted to other cultural flavors, and a great way to improve your Med Diet Score with fish, great quality oils, seeds, veggies and the whole grains in the tortillas.
