Howdy kids! So if you read my meal plan for the week, you saw tonight was fish night. The girls ate their fish sticks, Annie’s Mac and Cheese, and corn. My hubby wanted to have a fish (tilapia) taco to go along with his leftover Mexican chicken dish. I made myself some salmon and pesto. Good enough on its own, but seeing those tortillas made me want to experiment with salmon tacos. I truly believe that you can make anything into a taco..challenge accepted!!!!!
Tilapia Tacos
1 piece of tilapia- mix 1 teaspoon each of salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder- mix well and add to both side of the fish. Add oil to a med. hot skillet. Cook about 4 minutes on both sides. You should end up with nice flaky fish.
Add to your tortilla and favorite toppings.
Salmon Tacos with Pesto
Yeah…you are just going to have to trust me on this…
1 piece salmon- salt and pepper each side
Pan fry in a bit of oil. Cook skin side down for 4 minutes. Turn over for another 4 minutes. You should end up with a nice pink center and flaky flesh. YUM!
I added some pesto to mine.
Spinach Pesto
Directions- Mix the following ingredients in a food processor and stream in olive oil to make smooth and creamy;
1/2 container of pine nuts
1 bunch spinach
1/2 container of parmesan cheese
2 cloves of garlic
salt and pepper to taste
Never took a pic of the actual tacos. Totally forgot until we were chowing down on them. Oh well… use your imagination!
