Good, Solid Recipe

Flavorful leftover fish gives you a jump-start on dinner; just a few embellishments turn this Cedar-Planked Salmon into a whole new meal. Set out a stack of warm tortillas and bowlfuls of taco fillings to make this a convivial, casual family supper where everyone assembles his or her own tacos to taste. For speedier preparation, use packaged angel hair slaw instead of shredded cabbage.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 tacos)

Ingredients

  • Sauce:
  • 1/2  cup  fat-free mayonnaise
  • 2  tablespoons  minced fresh cilantro
  • 2  tablespoons  fat-free buttermilk
  • 2  teaspoons  minced chipotle chile, canned in adobo sauce (about 1 chile)

  • Tacos:
  • servings Cedar-Planked Salmon with Barbecue Spice Rub, coarsely chopped
  • 8  (6-inch) white corn tortillas
  • 4  cups  shredded green cabbage
  • 1/3  cup  chopped green onions
  • 3  tablespoons  fresh lime juice
  • 1  cup  diced seeded tomato (about 2 tomatoes)

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 250°.

2. To prepare sauce, combine mayonnaise, cilantro, buttermilk, and chile in a small bowl.

3. To prepare tacos, place Cedar-Planked Salmon with Barbecue Spice Rub in a baking dish. Cover with foil. Wrap tortillas tightly in foil. Bake the fish and the tortillas at 250° for 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

4. Combine cabbage, onions, and juice; toss well.

5. Spread about 4 teaspoons sauce down the center of each tortilla. Top each tortilla with about 2 ounces Cedar-Planked Salmon with Barbecue Spice Rub, 1/2 cup cabbage mixture, and 2 tablespoons tomato; fold in half. Serve immediately.

The Big Crunch
It's a good taco recipe. I used flour tortillas and just purchased bagged cole slaw mix instead of shredding a whole cabbage. Pretty easy. It ain't haute cuisine, but if you're looking for an easy, reliable fish taco recipe, this one is simple and tasty.10/04/09
