Tonight we grilled fresh salmon and made salmon tacos. I made homemade flour tortillas (an easy recipe I found which is 2 cups flour, 1 1/2
tsps baking powder, 1 tsp salt and 2 tsp vegetable oil. Add 3/4 cup warm milk and let the
Kitchen-aid run on knead for a good 2 -3 minutes. Let sit in covered bowl for 20 minutes; separate into 8 or so balls and let sit (covered) another 10 minutes. Roll thin and then grill or fry in a cast iron pan. We tried grilling them for the first time and it was great - at least in terms of ease. They seemed a little heavier than when I've cooked them inside on the cast iron pan.
I added a marinade for the salmon (olive oil, lime juice, cumin, honey, chili pepper, apple cider vinegar) - it was okay. Not sure I'd do the same thing again - didn't really add anything.
I also made a sauce of yogurt, mayo, lime juice, cumin, cayenne pepper and fresh cilantro. It was okay; again, not great.
And of course guacamole - mmmm. Can't go wrong with guac.
Served the tacos with left over kale salad. For desert we had fresh watermelon.
