Crispy skin salmon tacos
« Reply #-1 on: November 02, 2013, 10:23:37 PM »
For anyone that likes fish tacos, salmon is a good fish of choice

  • 1 lb salmon filet with skin on and scaled - preferably wild
  • 1/2 cup sliced cabbage
  • 1 tomato - diced
  • 1 avocado, diced, or 1/3 cup guacamole
  • 6-8 small corn tortillas
Sauce
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbs mayonnaise
  • 1 tbs capers
  • 1 tsp juice out of the caper jar
  • pinch of dill
  • salt and pepper to taste

Prepare the sauce first: combine all ingredients into a suitable container and place aside

Slice the fish into 1-inch wide strips

Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet - when hot, add the fish skin side down.  The fish skin might stick to the pan - do not disturb it - when the skin releases from the pan, it should be crispy, and is ready.  Turn salmon once and continuing cooking until done to your liking

Building the tacos
Spread avocado onto corn tortillas
Top generously with the sauce
Add tomatoes and cabbage
Place one piece of fish on top, and enjoy while the skin is hot and crispy

Boy do I like the flavor combos going on there with the salmon, capers & dill in the creamy sauce. This is now on my list.
