iNGREDIENTS
For The Salmon:
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- pinch of salt and pepper
- 1 lb Atlantic salmon
For The Coleslaw:
- 4 cups red cabbage, finely chopped (about half a large head of cabbage)
- 1/2 cup mini-gherkins, minced
- 1 tbsp pickle Juice
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp fresh dill minced+ additional for garnish
- salt/pepper
For Assembly:
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 4 oz goat cheese + additional for garnish

iNSTRUCTIONS
- In a small bowl, mix together the salmon ingredients. Place the salmon into a baking dish and pour the marinade over, being sure to cover all sides of the salmon. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- Once the salmon has marinated, pre-heat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the salmon until it just begins to flake with a fork, about 6-7 minutes. Flip and cook until flaky and tender, about another 4-5 minutes. Remove from the grill and cover to let rest. Keep the grill on.
- In a large bowl, mix together the chopped cabbage, pickles and pickle juice.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining mustard and maple syrup. While stirring, stream in the olive oil until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. Add the mixture, along with the dill, into the cabbage mixture and stir until evenly coated. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place into the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Place the tortillas onto the grill and cook until they just begin to char and bubble up, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook an additional minute or two, until crispy. Be careful not to burn then. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Place the goat cheese into a small, microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 10-15 seconds until it just begins to soften — be careful not to melt it!
- Divide the goat cheese between the tortillas and spread out evenly.
- Remove the skin from the salmon and place the salmon into a bowl, breaking it up into small pieces. Divide the salmon on top of each tostada.
- Divide the coleslaw on top of each tostada and garnish with fresh dill and crumbled goat cheese.
- DEVOUR.

tips & tricks for how to make the perfect salmon tostadas
- Start by marinating the salmon. It helps add flavor and moisture to the salmon.
- Serve the tostadas immediately. If you want your tostadas to be crispy and fresh, serve them immediately. If they sit for too long, they will become soggy.
- Use fresh tortillas. Stale tortillas stand a better chance of breaking. They are also not very tasty.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The higher the quality of ingredients, the higher the quality of the meal.

FAQs
Can I use a different kind of salmon?
Yes, you can, but for the best flavor and texture, I would stick to high-quality salmon like wild-caught sockeye or coho.
what if i don’t like mustard?
If you don’t like mustard, you can substitute mayonnaise for it. But I sincerely hope you try the recipe as I’ve laid it out here; the combination of ingredients may have you rethinking your stance on mustard!
Are tostadas served hot or cold?
Tostadas are typically best when served hot and fresh, though it’s truly a matter of preference, as others wait until the tostadas have cooled to room temperature before eating away.

how to store grilled salmon tostada
Place the cooled-down tostadas in a zip-loc bag or airtight container. Place a piece of wax paper or parchment paper between each one so that they don’t stick together. To reheat the tostadas, place them on a baking sheet and heat them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. You can also put them in a toaster oven or on the stovetop in a dry skillet over medium heat. All options should preserve that crispiness.
