ROASTED SALMON TACOS

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 pound green cabbage, cored and finely shredded
1/2 seedless cucumber, unpeeled, halved lengthwise, seeds removed and very thinly sliced (see note)
1/4 cup good white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons minced fresh dill
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, for greasing the pan
1 3/4 pounds center-cut fresh salmon fillet, skin removed
2 teaspoons chipotle chile powder
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, divided
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
4 ripe Hass avocados, seeded and peeled
3/4 teaspoon Sriracha

Steps:

  • At least an hour before you plan to serve the tacos, toss the cabbage, cucumber, vinegar, dill, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper together in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate, allowing the cabbage to marinate.
  • When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush a baking dish with olive oil and place the salmon in it. Mix the chile powder, lime zest and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl. Brush the salmon with 1 tablespoon of the lime juice and sprinkle with the chipotle seasoning mixture. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until the salmon is just cooked through.
  • Wrap the tortillas in 2 foil packets and place them in the oven with the salmon. Roughly mash the avocados with the remaining 2 tablespoons of lime juice, the Sriracha, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  • To serve, lay 2 warm tortillas on each of 6 plates. Place a dollop of the avocado mixture on one side of each tortilla, then some large chunks of salmon, and finally, some of the slaw. Fold the tortillas in half over the filling (they will be messy!) and serve warm.

TACO-SEASONED SALMON



Taco-Seasoned Salmon image

This is a recipe I created. I wanted Mexican food, but only had the seasoning and fish. I made this to cure my craving, and it was a success. Even my extremely picky daughter-in-law liked it!

¼ cup vegetable oil
½ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
¼ cup taco seasoning mix
6 (3 ounce) fillets salmon fillets

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Mix bread crumbs and taco seasoning mix together in a shallow bowl. Press salmon into bread crumbs mixture until evenly coated. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded salmon onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
  • Cook salmon in the hot oil until it flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side.

AMAZING SALMON TACOS



Amazing Salmon Tacos image

Absolutely, hands down, no doubt about it, the best recipe for fish tacos! Do your chopping ahead of time, as these tacos cook up fast! Fresh and light in taste, the flavor of delicious Alaskan Wild Salmon shines in this dish. You may also substitute halibut, or a similarly firm textured fish in place of the salmon. The leftovers are great served cold over a salad! I adapted this recipe from my mom's method of preparing salmon tacos.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb salmon, skinned and cut into one inch cubes
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 limes, quartered
2 (8 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained (like Rotel)
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1 bunch green onion, chopped

Steps:

  • Toss cubed salmon in cumin and chili powder. Set aside.
  • Heat large skillet over medium and cook yellow onion 2 minutes, until it begins to soften.
  • Turn heat up to medium high. Add salmon to skillet. Lightly sear salmon cubes for about 2-3 minutes, turning gently (don't break the salmon into pieces!).
  • IMPORTANT: Do not over cook the salmon. This juicy recipe will keep steaming the salmon. The salmon should still be firm in the middle of the cube when you proceed to the next step.
  • Return heat setting to medium. Add canned tomatoes and chilies, cilantro and green onions. Gently incorporate and heat through.
  • Squeeze quartered limes over the salmon mixture, give it a quick stir, and plate up the salmon (I usually drain a little liquid off at this point).
  • Serve with warm flour tortillas, quality salsa, sour cream, sliced avocado, and crisp romaine lettuce.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest salmon possible. Fresh salmon will have a bright pink color and a mild, slightly salty flavor. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a strong fishy smell.
  • Roast the salmon until it is cooked through but still slightly pink in the center. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of toppings to create flavorful tacos. Some popular options include avocado, salsa, sour cream, and cilantro.
  • Serve the tacos immediately after they are made. This will prevent the tacos from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Roasted salmon tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual party. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying taco that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give roasted salmon tacos a try!
