I love all types of Mexican food, but tacos are my first choice on any Mexican menu. Tacos are so versatile you can filled them with anything, seafood, chicken, vegetables, pork, beef, beans or eggs. I am not an expert preparing the delicious food of this country, but I surely enjoy cooking it.
These salmon tacos are simple and really good! They make the perfect lunch. Serve with tomatillo sauce or red salsa.
What is your favorite Mexican dish?
Ingredients
(8 Tacos)
8 corn tortillas
For the salmon:
2 pounds salmon
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage
2 avocados
Juice of 2 limes
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Favorite salsa to serve
Directions:
For the salmon:
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a large baking dish place the salmon fillets. Season with cumin, onion powder, chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through.
Heat the tortillas on a nonstick skillet, then wrap them in aluminum foil to keep them warm.
To assemble: spread one tortilla with sour cream, then top with cabbage, salmon, avocado and fresh cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle lime juice on top. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas or just let every person assemble their own tacos.
