Ingredients:

For the Grilled Salmon:

• 1 lb fresh Atlantic salmon (1-2 pieces)
  
  

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  
  

• Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
  
  

For the Slaw:

• 4 cups shredded green cabbage or coleslaw mix
  
  

• 3 mini seedless cucumbers, sliced
  
  

• 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
  
  

• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  
  

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  
  

For the Cilantro Sauce:

• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  
  

• 1/4 avocado
  
  

• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  
  

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  
  

• 1 garlic clove, minced
  
  

• Salt and pepper to taste
  
  

For the Naan:

• 4 naan breads (store-bought or homemade)
  
  

Directions:

1. Preheat your grill to 400-450°F (200-230°C).
   
   

2. Pat the salmon dry with a towel. Stir together the smoked paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over the salmon.
   
   

3. Place the salmon on the grill, close the lid, and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and pink. Remove the salmon from the grill and let it sit for 5 minutes.
   
   

4. While the salmon is resting, place the naan bread on the grill. Grill for 1-2 minutes per side until warm and slightly charred.
   
   

5. For the slaw, combine the shredded cabbage, cucumbers, and cilantro in a bowl. Toss with lime juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
   
   

6. For the cilantro sauce, combine the cilantro, avocado, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
   
   

7. To serve, spoon the slaw over the grilled naan, top with flaked salmon, and drizzle with the cilantro sauce.
   
   

8. Enjoy the grilled salmon with naan and slaw as an open-faced dish or as a wrap by folding the naan.
