Sambal Salmon Tacos

It’s  nice to have a  spring seafood recipe that’s easy to pull together.  The only ingredient you may not have on hand is Sambal Oelek.  This  spicy ground chili sauce  is used in a variety of cuisines. Pick up a jar, it’s  inexpensive,  and you will find all kinds of ways to use this flavor.  Sambal, and few other ingredients make the perfect balanced glaze.

Add a quick slaw with whatever lettuces and veggies you have on hand.  Char some corn tortillas, and it’s taco night, just a little elevated.

Ingredients:

Serves 2-4  (2-3 tacos per person)

2  3-4 oz salmon filets

1 cup mix of lettuces, carrots, red peppers, cabbage,  cucumber chopped

12 corn tortillas

Glaze

1 tablespoon sambal oelek

1 tablespoon honey

zest  and juice of a medium orange

Salt pepper to taste

Vinaigrette

2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar

1 teaspoon honey

1/2 inch ginger grated

Combine

Method:

Preheat oven to 350.  Mix glaze ingredients, brush filets and reserve the rest of the glaze.

Bake for 10-14 minutes until salmon is medium or to your desired temp 125-135 degrees.  Rest. Char corn tortillas on a gas stove or in the oven to soften while salmon rests.  Shred salmon,  and add more glaze.

Toss lettuce veggie mixture with  rice wine vinegar/ honey ginger vinaigrette .

Build tacos dividing salmon,  add slaw on tortillas and add any extra glaze on top.

Enjoy.
