Salmon Street Tacos Approved by 5/6 of My Family

I’m always looking for ways to incorporate more heart healthy salmon into my family’s diet, and this recipe for salmon street tacos is approved by five out of six of us. My middle daughter, Cora, has proven to be my pickiest eater and claims she doesn’t like salmon (or anything healthy really). Honestly, I think she just won’t give it a chance. But as long as I serve it with beans, she’ll add a tiny bit of salmon to her bean burrito in an attempt to make me happy.

The rest of the family, however, thinks these salmon street tacos are delicious! These tacos are a great way to stretch salmon and are so qiuck to make. Check out the recipe below.

How to Make Salmon Street Tacos

The really great thing about this meal is that not only is it delicious, but it’s also quick to make. Seriously, in the ten minutes it takes to cook the salmon, you can have the red cabbage slaw and the lime cream sauce finished for a complete meal. It’s possible to make everything ahead of time for a quick reheat at dinner time too and the slaw actually tastes better if you give it time to absorb the flavors!

So let’s get started, shall we?

Saute the salmon in butter over medium high heat

Melt butter in your favorite skillet over medium high heat. Cover salmon with blackened seasoning mix (you can make your own with my recipe here) – only one side if the skin is still on the bottom of the fish. Place salmon skin side down in melted butter and saute for 5 minutes. Flip salmon and saute for 5 more minutes. If you want, remove the skin after you flip it and add more blackened seasoning. Remove salmon from pan, allow to cool for a few minutes, then shred with a fork and set aside.
