Serves: 6-7.
I wanted salmon; Matt wanted burritos. I think our little compromise came out pretty well.
1 lb. salmon fillets
1 tsp. smoked paprika
1/2 tsp. Mexican style chile powder
1/4 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
2 tsp. lime juice
2 tsp. lemon juice
1 Tbs. canola oil
Dash cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper
Marinate salmon in lemon and lime juices for 5-10 minutes at room temperature.
Mix together dry ingredients. Rub over both sides of salmon.
Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook salmon 5-6 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until cooked (fish will flake easily).
Pull salmon into chunks using a fork.
Serve in tortillas with your favorite toppings.
Topping suggestions:
Brown or Mexican-style rice
Cheese
Sour cream
Guacamole
Black beans
Corn
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Jalapeno yogurt dip (Skotidakis is a great brand)
Notes:
- If you don't have special paprika or chile powder, just use what you've got! (Though I really do love smoked paprika.)
- Don't marinate your fish too long or it will start to "cook."
- We recently discovered the Tortilla Land uncooked tortillas at Costco. So delicious. Try some out (I'm sure other brands are good, too!).
- This salmon is really good in quesadillas--that's how my son likes it. I'm sure it would also be delicious in a salad.
