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.

  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 sauce is just sweet soy sauce (kicap/kecap manis), light soy sauce and water!

Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats I’m a savory kind o Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats 
I’m a savory kind of girl and have always preferred my oatmeals savory. Some people think it’s weird, I say don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The best part? You can be creative with this! I’ve added pesto to my oatmeal before and it was delicious.
I also prefer a thicker oatmeal, add more water if you don’t. 
Would you try this or are you sticking to your sweet oatmeal? 😋
