You Will Need

For the Grilled Salmon:
1 lb. Salmon Filet
1 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tsp. Riega Vaquero Steak Seasoning

For the Grilled Corn:
2 ears shucked Corn
1 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp. Riega Vaquero Steak Seasoning

For the Jalapeño Tartar Sauce
½ cup plain Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 ½ tsp. Riega Jalapeno Citrus Seasoning
¼ cup fresh chopped Cilantro
2 tbsp. Pickled Jalapenos, roughly chopped

For Toppings:
1 cup shredded Red Cabbage
1 tbsp. fresh Lime Juice
½ cup crumbled Feta Cheese
4 thinly sliced Radishes
8 6” Tortillas, warmed

Directions
  1. For the salmon, combine the olive oil and Vaquero Steak seasoning in a small bowl. Stir to combine, then spread over both sides of the salmon filet. Set the salmon aside.
  2. For the corn, combine the olive oil and Vaquero Steak seasoning in the same small bowl. Stir to combine, then rub over both ears of corn. Set aside near the salmon.
  3. For the tartar sauce, stir Greek yogurt, olive oil, Jalapeno Citrus seasoning, cilantro, and pickled jalapenos together until combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  4. For the toppings, toss the shredded red cabbage with lime juice and set aside until ready to use.
  5. Lightly brush the grates of an outdoor grill with oil. Heat the grill to medium heat.
  6. Once the grill is hot, grill the salmon skin-side-down for 4-5 minutes until charred. Flip the salmon and grill for another 2-3 minutes, or to your preferred doneness.
  7. Simultaneously grill the ears of corn on all sides until charred.
  8. Transfer both to a cutting board. Once the corn is cool enough to handle, carefully cut off the roasted kernels. Discard the cobs.
  9. Flake salmon and divide amongst warm tortillas. Top the salmon with roasted corn, jalapeno tartar sauce, lime-soaked red cabbage, feta cheese, and radishes.
