Salmon Tacos

voila! one of the best and easiest cinco de mayo dinners!!


salmon

cajun seasoning

1-2 T butter per pound of salmon

small corn tortillas

cheese ( I like pepper jack)

shredded cabbage

mayo

1 lime

cilantro

salt & Pepper

Gently spread butter on salmon fillet in small pats, then sprinkle cajun seasoning on salmon according to your own personal spicy threshold. Wrap entire piece of salmon in foil and cook on the BBQ for about 20 minutes until light pink and flaky. (no need to flip)

while your salmon is cooking, melt pepper jack cheese between two small corn tortillas (just lightly spray the pan with Pam so they don't stick)

Place hot salmon on the tortilla and add shredded cabbage (I love the pre-made cole slaw mix because it saves on the chopping)

Then top with lime cilantro sauce: 1/2 c mayo, juice from one lime, 1 t salt, 1 t pepper, 1/2 c. finely chopped fresh cilantro ( I like to thin my sauce with a little milk to make it spread easier)

And for dessert: Fried Ice Cream. Just roll a ball of vanilla ice cream in honey bunches of oats, or granola and then drizzle with caramel. It is a lot easier and you won't run the risk of burning your house down or having to endure hot oil smoke for days!!
