Instructions

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4

1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Use a sharp knife to remove the salmon skin, then scrape any
flesh from the underside. Stretch on a lined oven tray, then top with baking paper and a
second oven tray. Bake for 20 minutes, until very crisp.
2 Dice the fish into 1cm pieces, then mix with the chipotles, zest and juice. Arrange in a
roasting pan, then bake for 10 minutes, until just firm. Place the sauerkraut in a small
saucepan and set over a low heat until barely simmering. Stir in the coriander. Mix the
tomatoes, cucumber, onion and garlic, then season generously with salt and pepper.
3 Warm the tortillas, then serve with sauerkraut, fish, salsa, sour cream, hot sauce,
guacamole and crisp fish skin.
