Description

PW Reader Erin (comment #5 of related link), inspired me with her recipe for salmon tacos. I didn’t follow her recipe, as I didn’t have her exact ingredients on hand, so I improvised and came up with my own version!

Ingredients

  • 9 ounces, weight Salmon
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter, Lard Or Oil
  • Six 6" Corn Tortillas
  • 4 Small Tomatoes, Chopped
  • 1 Bunch Cilantro
  • 1 Small Yellow Or White Onion, Coarsely Chopped
  • 2 Radishes, Finely Diced
  • _____
  • FOR YOGURT CHIPOTLE SAUCE:
  • 1/2 Cup Plain Yogurt
  • 1 Teaspoon Hot Pepper Sauce (preferably Chipotle)
  • 1 Clove Garlic, Crushed
  • Salt To Taste
  • 1 Lime

Preparation

Butter a glass dish, lay the salmon in a single layer and bake at 350°F for 15-25 minutes until the fish changes color and flakes easily, or registers 145°F with a meat thermometer.

While the salmon is in the oven, heat a skillet (preferably cast iron). Melt one tablespoon of lard, oil or butter in the skillet and heat the corn tortillas until lightly browned on both sides. While the corn tortillas are heating, dice the tomatoes, chop the onions and the cilantro.

Mix the tomatoes, cilantro and onions together in one bowl (this is the pico de gallo part – minus jalapenos).

Chop the radishes finely.

Yogurt Chipotle Sauce: To a small bowl add the plain yogurt, hot pepper sauce (more or less depending on how much heat you like), crushed garlic, and salt to taste. Mix and let set until time to serve.

Layer the corn torillas onto a plate, place 1.5 ounces salmon on each tortilla. Spoon on pico de gallo, then Yogurt Chipotle sauce. Garnish with the chopped radishes and squeeze lime over the top.

These were delicious! I could not stop eating them. I think I ate three before I decided to save some for the rest of my family. I added the lime juice, the radishes, and some salt to the pico de gallo just to simplify things. I also seasoned up the salmon before I baked it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and brown sugar. Yum!

I did add a fresh jalapeno to the pico de gallo because we wanted a nice crisp spicy flavor, but otherwise we followed this recipe exactly. We had teensie hard time with the butter and the corn tortillas because the first one soaked up all of it – but we just did the rest without butter and they were still delicious. We absolutely have to make these again, this is a very unique and wonderful recipe!
