Poached Salmon Tacos with Avocado Salsa


Recipes in this postPicture 3

I love salmon, and I love avocado, and I love tacos! What could be better for a hot summer day than Poached Salmon Tacos with Avocado Salsa? When I was at a discount store with my friend Amber, I found green cactus tacos. I also had some red cabbage in the refrigerator and I thought that would look nice with the red and green.

If you cannot get these wonderful green cactus tacos, you could use corn tortillas. For a festive mood, try blue corn tortillas.

You only need a little salmon, so using wild salmon will not break your bank, and will be a lot better for you. It will also taste a lot better. The salmon that live on farms have dyes injected, and they don’t get to swim around in the ocean like their wild cousins.
