Salmon for Tacos

Caleb is obsessed with salmon right now. He puts it on his little meal chart every week and makes sure we remember to buy it at the store. Caleb is also a big fan of Taco Tuesdays so last week we combined salmon night and Taco Tuesday and made Honey Lime Salmon Tacos. It was Caleb’s dream dinner!

Salmon Fish Taco Glaze

Don’t be scared of salmon, it is so easy to prepare and so easy to cook. For the salmon tacos, we made a simple honey lime glaze. The glaze only has five ingredients: olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey, lime zest, and garlic. Whisk everything together, pour it over fresh salmon, sprinkle with a little cilantro, and bake for about 15 minutes. Yep, it’s that easy.

How to Make Salmon Tacos

While the salmon is baking, get all of your taco toppings ready. For these salmon tacos, we used:

red cabbage avocado queso fresco cilantro

Easy peasy! Feel free to add your favorite taco toppings! Radishes, shredded cheese, red onion, and jalapeño slices would also be good! For the base of the tacos we used corn tortillas that we charred slightly over our gas stove. If you don’t have a gas stove, you can heat up the tortillas in the microwave or oven. When the salmon comes out of the oven, it is taco time! Place pieces of salmon on top of the corn tortillas and top with the prepared taco toppings!

Honey + Lime make Great Salmon Fish Tacos

The salmon is tender, flaky, and slightly sweet! The honey lime glaze made the perfect salmon for tacos! Caleb was in taco heaven. He ate two tacos and asked if we could have Honey Lime Salmon Tacos next Tuesday. He said every Tuesday should be a salmon Taco Tuesday:)
