OMG Salmon Tacos!

These are AMAZING. I know... I said that about the banana muffins...but for REALS. These are A-Mazing. This will work with white fish as well, as I know a lot of people don't like salmon or don't want to mess with de-boning them, but whatever fish you choose, you're sure to love these. And they're great for any time of year.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound salmon, cod, halibut, or other fish of choice (tilapia works, but it's not a great fish...)
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tsp. salt (more if you like)
  • 1 T garlic powder (or less if you don't like the taste, but the benefits outweigh the taste imo)
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 cup coconut oil or so for frying

The Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 T lime juice (from fresh lime, about 1 whole lime)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin
  • dash chili pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon honey (optional, but I highly recommend it)


How to Do It


For the sauce, simply mix all the sauce ingredients together, whisking until smooth. Set aside.

For the fish, rinse and pat dry after de-boning and skinning (if necessary).

Put coconut oil in large fry pan or wok and heat on med/high heat until hot. Mix together all the dry ingredients into a medium bowl. Then, cut the fish into 1 inch wide strips (as long as you like or cubed if you prefer). Push the fish slices into the dry ingredient mix, covering thoroughly. Carefully add fish to coconut oil once it has reached temperature. If fish does not boil or sizzle when placed in oil, allow it to heat more before adding more fish. When oil is to temperature, add fish and let sit for about 2-4 minutes before turning over to other side and heating evenly. Once cooked, remove from oil with metal tongs and place on paper towel covered plate to absorb extra oil. Continue until all fish pieces are cooked.

To eat, you can use basic store bought or homemade flour tortillas or make Paleo tortillas. Use homemade salsa (I'll post a recipe later) or your favorite store bought, and add the sauce we made at the beginning. You can add a little extra lime if you like as well...it's really gooooood!

These are perfect for having people over, later-than-normal dinner, or a fun lunch. If you have changes or additions, leave a comment below.

Hope you enjoy!
