BBQ Salmon Tacos With Kimchi
Kimchi is a traditional Korean side dish created from spicy fermented vegetables. Its unique flavor lends itself well to a number of dishes, and the fermentation process makes kimchi rich in probiotics, which can help improve the health and diversity of your body’s microbiome. Here, kimchi is paired with savory barbecue salmon that brings a healthy dose of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats to the table. This dinner is sure to keep you coming back — for the flavors and health benefits alike!

Directions
Preheat broiler and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, salt, pepper, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
Place the fish on the prepared baking sheet (skin side down) and drizzle with the olive oil, being sure to evenly coat the fish. Sprinkle the fish with the barbecue spice mixture, patting it into the fish to evenly coat all surfaces. Place the fish into the preheated oven and cook until it is almost cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 4 to 6 minutes. Watch the fish closely, as broilers vary and the cooking time will also be affected by the thickness of the fillet.
Once the fish is cooked, flake it gently with a fork and divide it evenly between the 8 tortillas. Top each taco with corn, kimchi, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve with the remaining lime wedges.
