Salmon Tacos with Fresh Peach Salsa

Salmon Tacos with Fresh Peach Salsa

Ingredients

 

Summer brings us the best produce. Tomatoes, peppers and stone fruit all come in season at the same time in our garden, so I threw together a simple salsa that is good enough to eat on a chip, but to die for in a tortilla with some grilled Pride of Bristol Bay wild salmon. This fresh peach salsa pairs so well with the salmon that all you need to season the salmon with is salt. Whether you make a taco or just use a fork to get it to your mouth, it is a simple dish that you can feel good about eating.

Salsa in a bowl

I am all for less dishes, and tacos is one way I achieve this goal. Plus, I feel better eating fresh ingredients which are prepared in line with clean eating. My gluten free friends can join me for this dish because I opt for soft corn tortillas, which is a healthier option. Corn tortillas are considered whole grain and typically have less carbs, calories, and fat than flour tortillas.

Avocado consumption has been linked to lower levels of bad (LDL) cholesterol. Not that anyone needs an excuse to add a slice of avocado in their tacos, but knowing that the fat you are adding is good for you might be the permission you were waiting for. You are welcome!

Instructions

Ingredients

For Peach Salsa

  • 1 Jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
  • ½ Lb Tomatoes, diced
  • 2 Tbs Fresh Mint, chopped
  • 1 Lb Fresh Peaches (approx. 1 large or 2 medium), diced with skin on
  • 1 Tbs Lime Juice, and the zest
  • ½ Tsp Salt, or more to taste
  • ⅛ Tsp Black Pepper, or more to taste

For Salmon Tacos

  • 1 ½ Lb Wild for Salmon, Salmon Fillet
  • 1 Tbs Sea Salt
  • Corn Tortillas
  • Peach Salsa
  • Cabbage, shredded
  • Avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. Combine the salsa ingredients and let the flavors do their magic while you prep the rest (if you like a little more heat add in a second jalapeño)
  2. Pat the salmon dry and clean with paper towels
  3. Salt the non-skin side of the fillet
  4. Cook the salmon to your liking (for this, I am all about) less dishes, so I go with a pre-soaked cedar plank on the BBQ
  5. Cooking times vary depending on the temperature of the grill and the thickness of the fish you have, but generally, about 10-12 minutes on a plank will do it (checking at 8 minutes)
  6. Turn each tortilla into a taco by adding the cooked salmon, a pinch of cabbage, a spoon of peach salsa, and a slice of avocado, then fold it up to enjoy!
