Do you know what i hate about the weekend? The fact that it's so short and goes by so fast! Oh it's so annoying! It's currently Sunday evening but I wish it was a Friday. I have so much to do tonight (test a recipe for SPU's Community Kitchen, write an essay, start research for a research paper and write a long and boring personal statement, and sooooo much more) but I'm starting my Sunday evening off with a blog post (like i have nothing else important to do…) *sigh*. Weekends are too short.
Anyway, I'll just cut to the chase, because I know no one reads my long essays, and because I know you're dying to know more about that beautiful picture you're staring (and drooling) at right now ;) I found the recipe here but i did make quite a few changes to it. If you haven't already noticed, I love making changes to things. So for one of my classes, we were to chose and prepare a heart healthy dish and my group and I decided to make salmon tacos. We thought they'd be fun and a little different than just baking salmon (which is sooooo boring….haha jk). So we made them and oh they were SO good. Incredibly good. We got a lot of compliments from our class mates. So I decided to make these again at home, and again, they were awesome! This dish was eaten by over 20 people. So yeah. It's good.
The salmon has a nice flavor. In class we baked the salmon but at home I grilled it. Either way, it was delicious. The lime slaw was nice and tangy and the mango salsa was out of this world! My favorite part about this dish was the salsa. It is sweet and tangy and savory. It's a bit different than your usual tomato-salsa, but it's super delicious! (Goes great with tortilla chips as well).
These salmon tacos are super healthy as well! Salmon is full of heart healthy fats, the lime slaw and mango salsa give you loads of different vitamins and minerals and the corn tortillas give you a serving of whole grains (which has a plethora of benefits). These are much better than the usual beef and cheese tacos everyone is used to. Plus, they're a little different. So give them a try on your next Taco Tuesday (or any day really.)
Enjoy! :)
