Taco Tuesday: Salmon BLT Tacos

Do you know what my favorite day of the week is? Well, it's Saturday, but Tuesday gives it a run for it's money. That's because of Taco Tuesday! I never imagined that starting this theme day would lead me to find so many wonderful taco recipes. 


While my mom may say that I'm a somewhat picky eater (I have a good list of veggies I won't eat, and she loves them all), I have always loved seafood. This may seem pretty normal to a lot of people, but I have quite a few friends who don't like it. At all. That, my friends, seems crazy to me!!

I love all kinds of fish, but I am very fond of Salmon. I've made it a variety of ways...breaded, marinated, glazed, etc. And I can't say I've tried it any way that I didn't like. And while I've had several variations of fish tacos, I never thought to tyr it with salmon. Until I came across this recipe on Jessica's blog. Since I've had such success with other recipes found on her blog, I knew that this one couldn't be anything less than fabulous! And it was just that. Fabulous. Ah, salmon...one more way to love you. As if I needed any more convincing!

Salmon BLT Tacos

Ingredients
  • 4-6 flour tortillas
  • 2 4 oz salmon filets
  • 2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 1 avocado, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • salt & pepper, to taste
  • honey mustard dressing

Preparation
  1. Preheat your broiler, and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Season both sides of salmon with salt and pepper and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until it flakes easily with a fork.
  2. Once salmon is done, remove skin if any and flake it with a fork.
  3. Warm tortillas and top with  a couple tablespoons of salmon, shredded lettuce, tomato, avocado, bacon and honey mustard dressing.
These tacos are just so stinkin' good...you should add them to your menu ASAP!!
