Try this healthy Mexican-inspired recipe for Salmon Tacos. This recipe embraces the bold Mexican flavors we adore but leaves behind the fat, sodium and calories we don't.
Ingredients:
1 lb skinless salmon fillet
1 Tbsp Slat-Free Mexican Seasoning Blend (below)
1 cup shredded cabbage or lettuce
1 diced avocado
½ cup diced tomatoes
½ cup sliced onion
½ cup chopped cilantro
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp olive oil
8 corn or flour tortillas
Serve with: green or red salsa
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 500ºF. Line a baking pan with nonstick foil.
2. Rub salmon fillet with seasoning blend. Roast 8 minutes on baking pan or just until cooked through.
3.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, toss shredded cabbage or lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice and olive oil. Break salmon into pieces with a fork.
4. Fill warmed tortillas with the salmon and vegetables. Serve with green or red salsa. Hold the cheese and sour cream!
(Makes 4 servings.)
Salt-Free Mexican Seasoning Blend: Use this in place of those convenient (but sodium-laden) packets of taco or chili seasoning. It's also great as a rub.
Mix ¼ cup salt-free chili powder, 1 Tbsp each dried oregano and ground cumin and ½ tsp garlic powder. Store in an airtight jar.
For tacos or chili: Use 2½ Tbsp per pound of ground beef or turkey.
As a rub (great for faijitas): Use 1 Tbsp per pound of steak, chicken or pork.
