Cooking Methods

1. For the slaw, in a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, lime zest, and chili powder.

2. In a medium bowl, stir together the remaining slaw ingredients. Add the yogurt mixture and toss to coat.

3. Rinse the fish and pat dry with paper towels. Heat a ridged grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and lightly spray with vegetable oil spray (being careful not to spray near a gas flame).

4. Cook the fish for 8 to 9 minutes, turning once, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Or lightly spray an outdoor grill rack and heat on medium high. Grill the fish as directed. Place on a plate. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.

5. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Warm a tortilla for 30 seconds. Turn over and warm for 20 to 30 seconds, or until pliable. Put on a small plate and cover with a barely damp dish towel. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, Or stack the tortillas and wrap them in a slightly damp paper towel. Microwave for 12 to 15 seconds on 100 percent power (high).

6. To assemble, spoon the slaw on the upper third of each tortilla. Break the salmon into chunks. Put the salmon on the slaw. Sprinkle with the tomato. Fold in both sides of each tortilla. Roll up the tortilla from the filling end to the bottom.

7. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining ingredients. Spoon the mixture over each taco.
