Salmon Quesadillas - Simple and Sooo Yummy! image

When I tried these I was so AMAZED! I admit, when I first came across this recipe I was skeptical. Once I made these I quickly posted the recipe here on ZAAR for safe keeping and of course to share with everyone! Try these! You will be so glad that you did! These are so fast, simple and tasty I wondered what took me so long to try them in the first place! For fastest results use a can or pouch of boneless skinless of salmon. These are to die for though when made with some leftover grilled salmon. I have even been successful getting dh to grill them outside for me. :) Any way you make these, we hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Hey, they are even special enough to serve guests! Who would think of a quesadilla with such great ingredients? Enjoy!

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 garlic cloves, minced
6 ounces canned salmon, boneless skinless (if using regular canned just drain. flake and remove bones ) or 6 ounces cooked salmon (leftovers work great here )
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 flour tortillas (about 6 inches in size) or 4 corn tortillas, whatever you prefer
1 1/2 cups monterey jack pepper cheese or 1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Spray a skillet with cooking spray and saute garlic for about 1 minute or until tender but not brown. Stir in salmon, basil and pepper. Cook over medium heat just until warm. (For one less pan to wash I sometimes do this in my microwave in a small glass bowl and it comes out great. Microwaves vary- mine only takes a minute).
  • Meanwhile assemble quesadillas: 1 tortilla, a quarter of the cheese, and a quarter of the salmon mixture, fold in half spray pan with cooking spray and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Spray top of quesadilla and flip. Continue to cook 1 or 2 more minutes or until golden brown. Can also be sprayed and baked all at once on a baking sheet in a 350 degree oven until browned and cheese has melted.
  • Cut into wedges and serve.
  • Guacamole and sour cream make nice garnishes but these are great as is.

Overall, I thought these quesadillas were pretty good. I would definitely make them again, but I might change up the recipe a bit.

I had a hard time flipping the quesadillas without them falling apart.

These quesadillas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

I'm not sure why, but my quesadillas didn't turn out as good as the ones in the picture. I think I might have overcooked the salmon.

I had a hard time finding salmon quesadillas at my local grocery store, so I decided to make them myself. I'm so glad I did! They were so much better than anything I could have bought.

These quesadillas were a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed them. I think I would use less chili powder next time.

I added some chopped avocado to my quesadillas and it was delicious! I would also recommend using a good quality cheese, as it really makes a difference in the flavor.

I'm not a big fan of salmon, but I really enjoyed these quesadillas. The salmon was flaky and flavorful, and the other ingredients complemented it perfectly.
