Larry’s Salmon Fajitas





Yields
Makes 3 servings

Lawrence Raimon of Santee, California, learned how to cook at an early age by watching cooking shows on television. Raimon and his wife collect spices from around the world (they currently have close to 150), which he likes to experiment with in the kitchen. These savory salmon fajitas reflect his cooking style - fresh, healthful, and quick.

 1 1/4 pounds salmon fillets, boned, skinned, and cut into 1-inch cubes
 1 onion (about 6 oz.), thinly sliced
 2 tablespoons lemon juice
 1 teaspoon ground cumin
 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
 1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce
 1/8 teaspoon hot chili flakes
 4 large leaves (about 3 oz. total) romaine lettuce
 3 tomatoes (about 1 lb. total)
 6 nonfat flour tortillas (6 1/2 to 7 in.), warmed
  Nonfat sour cream
