Inas Salmon Tacos Recipes

INA'S SALMON TACOS

Steps:

• One hour before serving, marinate the slaw: add the cabbage, cucumber, vinegar, dill, together in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste; toss with tongs. Cover and refrigerate, until ready to serve.
• After slaw has marinated, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.Brush a baking dish with olive oil; place the salmon skin side down into the prepared dish.
• In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, lime zest; season with salt, to taste. Brush the salmon with 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, sprinkle with the chipotle seasoning.
• Place the prepared salmon into the preheated oven; roast for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through.
• Add the avocados and remaining 2 tablespoons of lime juice to a small bowl; season with salt and pepper to taste. Mash to desired consistency.

ROASTED SALMON TACOS

Steps:

• At least an hour before you plan to serve the tacos, toss the cabbage, cucumber, vinegar, dill, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper together in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate, allowing the cabbage to marinate.
• When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush a baking dish with olive oil and place the salmon in it. Mix the chile powder, lime zest and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl. Brush the salmon with 1 tablespoon of the lime juice and sprinkle with the chipotle seasoning mixture. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until the salmon is just cooked through.
• Wrap the tortillas in 2 foil packets and place them in the oven with the salmon. Roughly mash the avocados with the remaining 2 tablespoons of lime juice, the Sriracha, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
• To serve, lay 2 warm tortillas on each of 6 plates. Place a dollop of the avocado mixture on one side of each tortilla, then some large chunks of salmon, and finally, some of the slaw. Fold the tortillas in half over the filling (they will be messy!) and serve warm.

ROASTED SALMON WITH GREEN HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Place the salmon fillet in a glass, ceramic, or stainless-steel roasting dish and season it generously with salt and pepper. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice and drizzle the mixture evenly over the salmon. Let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• In a small bowl, stir together the scallions, dill, and parsley. Scatter the herb mixture over the salmon fillet, turning it so that both sides are generously coated with the green herbs. Pour the wine around the fish fillet.
• Roast the salmon for 10 to 12 minutes, until almost cooked in the center at the thickest part. The center will be firm with just a line of uncooked salmon in the very center. (I peek by inserting the tip of a small knife.) Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Cut the salmon crosswise into serving pieces and serve hot with lemon wedges.
