Grilled Salmon Tacos
Salmon gives tacos a whole new flavor from the traditional beef version. And it gives you a heart-healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids.

Ingredients
-
1 pound fresh or frozen skinless salmon fillets
-
8 ounces medium round red or white potatoes, cubed
-
1-1/2 teaspoons ground chipotle chile pepper
-
3/4 teaspoon sugar
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 cup purchased green salsa
-
3 tablespoons lime juice
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
6 green onions, thinly sliced
-
1/2 cup snipped fresh cilantro
-
12 6-inch or sixteen 4-inch corn tortillas, warmed according to package directions
-
1/2 cup light dairy sour cream
-
Lime wedges (optional)
Directions
1.
Thaw fish, if frozen. In a covered small saucepan cook potatoes in enough boiling salted water to cover about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool.
2.
In a small bowl combine chipotle chile pepper, sugar, and the 1/4 teaspoon salt. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Measure thickness of fish. Sprinkle chile powder mixture evenly over both sides of each fish fillet; rub in with your fingers. Place fish on greased rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once halfway through grilling time. Cool slightly. Break fish into chunks.
3.
In a medium bowl stir together green salsa, lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add potatoes, fish, green onions, and cilantro; toss gently to coat.
4.
Divide fish mixture among tortillas. Top with sour cream; fold tortillas. Serve with lime wedges if desired. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
