Method
Cheese Shells
1
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place two equal-sized rounds of Monterey Jack cheese on the surface. Let them melt and bubble until the edges turn golden-brown. Lift carefully with a spatula and drape them over a thick wooden spoon handle or taco rack to cool into a shell shape.
Salmon Filling
2
Slice the salmon belly into bite-sized strips. Toss with the chili powder, cumin, and sea salt. Crank up the griddle to high. Sear the salmon pieces for 1 to 2 minutes per side until heavily browned and crispy-edged, rendering out the rich fat.
Avocado Crema
3
In a small food processor or bowl with a fork, blend the avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and chopped cilantro until completely smooth and punchy.
Plate
4
Stuff the crispy cheese shells with the griddle-hot salmon belly, then drizzle generously with the bright green avocado crema and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
