"Tacos are the perfect food." - Sophia Bush
Today I am sharing my favorite salmon taco recipe! They are so light and fresh, perfect for the warmer months ahead!
What You'll Need
- Atlantic Salmon Filet
- Olive Oil
- Corn Tortillas
- Arugula or Shredded Lettuce
- Cilantro
- Corn
- Red Cabbage
- Lemon
- Tomato
- Avocado
- Lemon Pepper Seasoning
Step 1: Prepare all of the veggies! Dice your tomatoes, chop your cilantro, red cabbage, and lettuce, and cut a few wedges of lemon or lime for added flavor. Also, you can grill your corn or prepare it on the stove top.
Tip: Slice up an avocado and throw that on your taco too!
Step 2: Heat your skillet for your salmon filet. Put the pan on medium to high heat, and add olive oil to the skillet. Place the salmon skin side down into the skillet, and add a little bit of lemon pepper seasoning (to taste). This will take about 5-7 minutes per side. Once the fish is cooked to your preference, remove the filet from the skillet and let it cool on a plate. Then, begin shredding and cutting up the salmon for the tacos.
Tip: You can also, oven bake your salmon. Turn your oven to 450 degrees. Please your filet skin side down and cook for 12-15 minutes.
Step 3: Now for the tortillas! In a heated skillet, add a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and begin placing in the corn tortillas. Keep the tortillas in the skillet for about 30-60 seconds until browned.
Step 4: It is time to build you tacos! Grab a tortilla, and put your veggies on the bottom, starting with the lettuce or arugula. Then add tomatoes, cilantro, corn, red cabbage, avocado, shredded salmon, and desired sauce. Drizzle some lemon juice on top too!
Tip: A cilantro lime sauce is always my go to for this yummy dish.
Step 5: Enjoy!
