With it being National Taco Day, it’s only right for me to take a slight detour from our normal Monday shenanigans of the weekly challenge in exchange for some tacos. So here’s one of my go-to recipes when it comes to this mouth-watering dish – the Spicy Salmon Taco.

Simple Spicy Salmon Tacos Recipe

It’s a twist on the classic Hawaiian poke bowl (pronounced as “po-kay”), which normally consists of some diced/sliced seafood protein, veggies, rice, and an assortment of toppings and sauces.

I’m embodying Ron Stoppable (throwback to Kim Possible!) when I say that there’s absolutely no bad time for tacos. It’s perfect as a snack, or even as a full meal! Truth is that it’s so good that I keep reaching for more and have a hard time stopping at just one. 😉

The tacos are dumpling wrappers baked to golden perfection and still as crunchy like it was fried (minus the guilt). I wanted a wider base so the taco shells will stand on its own so I hung it on muffin tins.

The taco shells will come out a bit wavy but it’s still just as good. You might think it looks weird but I say it has *character*! This spicy salmon tacos taste even better with a squeeze of lime.

Ingredients You’ll Need

(For full ingredient measurements, please proceed to the recipe card below.)

  • Salmon: Sashimi grade
  • Japanese mayo
  • Sriracha/chili sauce
  • Sesame oil
  • Green onions
  • Dumpling wrappers
  • Sesame seeds (optional)
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Spray both sides of the dumpling wrapper with cooking spray.
  3. Hang the dumpling wrappers on the edges of a muffin tin and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown (see notes).
  4. Cut the salmon into small cube sized pieces.
  5. Make the spicy mayo sauce with the mayo, Sriracha/chili sauce and sesame oil. Add 2 tbsp of green onions and mix well.
  6. Add salmon and coat it with the sauce.
  7. Assemble by adding the spicy salmon into the taco shells and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve with lime wedges. Enjoy!

Notes for Spicy Salmon Mini Tacos

  • Use muffin tray to shape taco shells: I used a muffin tray so that the taco shells are able to have a wider base and stand without falling over. The taco shells will come out looking a bit wavy.
  • Alternatively, you can use a normal baking dish and hang it over the sides.
  • Other ingredient options: You can add other ingredients to the spicy salmon such as diced onions, corn, sliced jalapeno. The sky’s the limit!

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

Mee (mie) goreng, a quick and easy stir fried noodles recipe that’s great for lunch or dinner. Popular in Malaysia and neighboring countries like Indonesia and Singapore— with each country having their own version of it. Chewy noodles infused with spicy, tangy and savory flavors, and ready within 30 minutes!
This is definitely not an authentic recipe but a simplified version that my mother-in-law makes often and now a recipe that I make quite a lot for a quick breakfast using ingredients easily accessible to us here. It definitely hits the spot! Feel free to add protein of your choice to this dish or just add a fried egg on top!

Try these Crispy Air Fried Crab Stick Crackers for size. A classic snack that could almost always be seen during Chinese New Year festivities in Malaysia. All you need are some crab sticks, a bit of seasoning, and a few tablespoons of oil!
This is such an easy and addictive snack. I always have to make a lot if I’m sharing because I tend to finish the first batch all by myself 😂

Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
