Smoked Salmon Tacos

 Smoked Salmon Tacos

    

    For this week's meal I made smoked salmon tacos and they were delicious. The only things I had to purchase were the fish and salsa. I usually always have tortillas on hand from other meals such as the ground turkey tacos or quesadillas. 

    First, I put a thin layer of oil in a pan on medium heat. While the oil heated up, I seasoned the salmon with a bit of pepper, paprika, seasoned salt, and garlic powder. Once the oil was hot but not smoking, I cooked the salmon for 5 minutes on one side and then 3 minutes on the other. All the while, I was heating and flipping the tortillas.


   

     The smoked salmon smelled and tasted like bacon and had a crispy outside but still soft inside. I spread a pineapple salsa over the tortillas then placed the fish. I also used jalapeño and poblano hot sauce for some extra heat. I wanted to use mango salsa but could not find any at the store so the pineapple worked just as well and gave it a sweetness that worked great with the smoky salmon and spicy hot sauce.

  1. Hi there,
    These tacos sound absolutely delicious. I don't think I ever thought of making taco's with salmon on them. I mean I know there are fish tacos, but these look pretty good. And it sounds helpful that you have tortillas on hand in your fridge, for things like these. It also sounds like you can customize what type of topping you put on it, with the salsa and adding the hot sauce. I'm sure if you enjoy spice, that is good to add, but for a spice wimp it's nice to know you don't have to add it. Nice job.

  2. I've never heard of salmon tacos before. I just made a lot of salmon, so I will have to try this. Do you like out of chicken, beef, or salmon which one do you like the most?

    1. This is a hard question to answer because what I have a taste for varies. I mostly make ground turkey tacos, but I also often will switch it up and make ground beef, chicken, ground chicken, and strip steak. Beef usually tastes best to me but sometimes just cutting up a chicken breast is really good I'm actually making that tonight.
