salmon tacos

I got this recipe for salmon tacos from Shade Clothing's "Your Life in Shade" blog (picture courtesy of their blog as well). I love salmon. I love tacos. I love fish tacos. And my kids like salmon, so I really wanted to make this. It was super easy, just a bit time consuming preparing all the extras. My kids ate salmon and cheese roll-ups (even Drew, AMAZING). Wade liked it, but said they were too "fishy," but he doesn't eat onions and peppers, so his were probably more on the fishy side. He really liked it with the rice vinegar drizzled on top. I also made some black beans as well. Here's the recipe:

Salmon filet
Whole garlic cloves
Olive Oil
Blackened seasoning
Corn or flour tortillas

1 avocado, peeled, pitted and chunked
1 onion, sliced lengthwise
1 green pepper, sliced lengthwise {i used a yellow and red}
1 tomato, chopped
Mozarella cheese, grated
Seasoned rice vinegar

Place salmon fillet on cookie sheet and top with whole garlic cloves. Season salmon with salt, pepper, and blackened seasoning. Drizzle olive oil over salmon and garlic. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until fish flakes when tested with a fork.

In a saucepan, sauté onion and green pepper in a little bit of olive oil until vegetables are soft enough to eat but not limp.

Layer salmon chunks, garlic, avocado, grilled onion and pepper, tomatoes and cheese into tortilla shell. Lightly sprinkle seasoned rice vinegar over taco and enjoy!
