This Asian-Mexican fusion dish is ready in minutes! If the salmon begins to stick, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water to the pan. —Marisa Raponi, Vaughan, Ontario

Ingredients

1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
Shredded lettuce
8 corn tortillas (6 inches), warmed
1-1/2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
Mango salsa, optional

Directions

Toss salmon with hoisin sauce. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook salmon for 3-5 minutes or until it begins to flake easily with a fork, turning gently to brown all sides.
Serve salmon and lettuce in tortillas; sprinkle with sesame seeds. If desired, top with salsa.

Test Kitchen tips

Look for thick center pieces of salmon so your cubes will be consistently sized for even cooking.

Hoisin sauce is used as both a sauce and condiment in Chinese and Vietnamese cooking. Its flavor is distinctive in two Chinese classics: char siu and moo shu pork.

The flavor of hoisin sauce varies quite a bit between brands, so feel free to adjust the amount used.

Black sesame seeds have a slightly nuttier flavor than white ones. If you don't have them, use toasted white sesame seeds instead.
