Hello!
I've been so productive this week that I've managed to write another food blog post. :'D
admittedly, the final picture isn't super food porn...I think this is:
Unless you don't like salmon.
Anyway, today's recipe is a simple salmon taco with mango salsa. Very refreshing.
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE SALMON
- salt
- pepper
- 1 teaspoon of dill
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- olive oil
- juice of 1/2 of a lime
- 1 lb of salmon fillets
- 1/2 cup of spinach
- 6 whole wheat tortillas
FOR THE SALSA
- salt
- pepper
- juice of 1 lime
- 1/3 cup cilantro
- 1 red onion
- 1 mango
PROCEDURE
- Dice your cilantro, onion and mango.
- Add in lime juice.
- Add salt and pepper.
- Combine the ingredients — add additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Set a skillet on high heat.
- Place a teaspoon of olive oil in the skillet.
- Season the salmon with salt, pepper, dill, garlic powder, and cumin.
- When the oil hot (just before it begins to smoke), place the salmon in the pan.
- Cook the salmon about 5-7 minutes on each side.
- Remove salmon and let cool for 1 minute.
- Warm tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for about 10 seconds.
- Place spinach on the tortilla.
- Flake pieces of the salmon and place them on top of the spinach.
- Spoon mango salsa in the tortilla and wrap.
- Garnish with additional cilantro.
And you're done! :D

Ever tried white wine to cook the salmon with? It is very, very delicious with a unique flavor!
Going to try this later on this week. Never had Salmon tacos before lol

fish tacos are the tits
nicejob

This looks awesome, will ask my GF to make it for me.
|
I will actually make this tonight if I can get my hands on some decent mango, as a celebratory dinner for landing a job :D
|
OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHH
looks tasty :D
|
Sounds so wrong, there is nothing to give an edge to the dish. Salsa of sweet mango with the fatty fulness of the salmon. And then use it with microwaved tortillas, sorry but it sounds plain gross.

Microwaving the tortillas is only to warm them :D The tortillas from the store are already pre-cooked, they're just at room temperature. I don't have a tortilla warmer or anything, so I have to rely on what I have. you don't have to do this step if you don't want to. I guess you could always bake it, but that doesn't seem very energy efficient in my opinion.
The salsa isn't that sweet, actually. It's a little bit sour due to the lime and has some tang from the red onions. the acidity will cut the fat of the salmon though.
Thanks for your feedback! :D

It looks great! If you really don't like microwave, just microwave it to warm it up then throw it on the toaster/oven/pan to crisp it up

I'm all for chili, but unfortunately I cook for someone who is very sensitive to spices. So I typically leave out extra spice.
but adding chili to almost any dish will work! Just don't add too much otherwise you might overwhelm the dish.

Dill is an herb. It kind of has this lemon-y flavor. You can find it dried or fresh at most grocery stores.
It looks like this:
I think a container of dried dill will cost you $2 or $3. It's $1.99 at Trader Joe's. Fresh dill is usually a bit cheaper. Personally, I stick with dried because it's a bit more cost effective for me.
Fresh herbs are always better, but if you don't plan on using the whole thing, it can be a bit wasteful.
