# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Combine all the spice mix ingredients in a bowl. Coat the salmon flesh evenly (if skinless, season both sides). Add some olive oil on top and wait 10 minutes before cooking.
02 -
In a heated non-stick pan with oil, cook salmon flesh side down for about 3 minutes. Flip it over to finish for another 2-3 minutes, depending on how you like it cooked.
03 -
Set salmon aside for 4-5 minutes to cool slightly, then break it into smaller pieces with a fork.
04 -
Stir lime juice, hot sauce, and mayo in a small bowl. Sprinkle a bit of salt until it tastes just right.
05 -
Lightly warm up the tortillas. Add the salmon chunks, coleslaw, tomatoes, feta, and drizzle some spicy mayo over it all.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Tortillas for fajitas are usually 4.5-6.5 inches wide.
02 -
Shredded greens like cabbage can replace coleslaw mix.
03 -
Extras like cilantro, avocado, green onions, pickled onions, or jalapeños work great here.
