High in protein and nutrients like Omega 3, these Salmon Tacos are fun and easy to make, tasty and so healthy for you.
If you can’t find Tacos in your local supermarket, use small wraps or soft corn tortillas, and prepare lots of fresh vegetarian options to surround the Salmon for texture within the taco and added nutritional value.
Ingredients
- Half a side of Salmon (around 500g)
- 1 tablespoon Rose Harissa Paste
- 1 lemon
- Salt & pepper
- Steamed broccoli
- Sweetcorn or Mielie, either cooked and sliced off the cob, or tinned
- Coriander leaves, if your teen enjoys them
- While not visible in the photo, option to add shredded carrot, cucumber , Salsa (chopped tomato, red onion, chilli, fresh parsley) or a Slaw of your choice.
For the spread (or sauce – whatever you call it, it really elevates this Taco)
- 5 tablespoons fat free cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)
- black pepper, a few grinds
- 2 tablespoons Greek yoghurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano or parsley, whatever you have to hand
Method
Cook the Salmon first, and for the method see my Air Fryer Harissa Salmon recipe.
While the Salmon is cooking, prepare the supplementary fillings by chopping and steaming your veg and mixing your spread.
To mix the spread, with a small blender, throw everything in and blitz till smooth.
Multiple variations as paired veggies work with this, so get creative and provide as many options as your teen is willing to eat to pack in those nutrients with this dish 😁.
When the Salmon is cooked, place in a dish with some tongs so that the eaters can pick up chunks of the fish to fill their Tacos and then surround the protein with veggies of their choice.
You may notice my teen (holding the Taco in this picture) didn’t choose too many veggies 🤣…
