  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Wrap the tortillas in a single sheet of aluminum foil; keep them in the oven until serving time.

  3. 3

    In a food processor or blender, combine the mayonnaise, jalapeño, chipotle powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; pulse until smooth. Transfer the sauce to a bowl; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  4. 4

    Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl; set aside. Put the panko, eggs, and flour into separate shallow bowls; beat the eggs. Generously season the salmon pieces with the garlic powder mixture. Dredge the salmon pieces in the flour; shake off any excess. Dip them into the beaten eggs, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Press into the panko to coat, patting it on so it adheres well to the salmon pieces.

  5. 5

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  6. 6

    Carefully lower the breaded salmon pieces into the hot oil, working in batches if needed. Fry until browned on one side, about 2 minutes; flip and fry until the other side is browned, about 5 minutes. Flip again and fry until the salmon flakes, 3 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; drizzle with lime juice. Repeat with the remaining salmon.

  7. 7

    Combine the cabbage and cilantro in a serving bowl. Gently mix the tomatoes, avocado, onion, and garlic salt in a separate bowl.

  8. 8

    Fill 1 tortilla with salmon, the cabbage mixture, the avocado mixture, and the chipotle cream sauce. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, salmon, toppings, and sauce.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
