  • Oh and here is the Fish Taco Recipe. It's super yummy!

    I changed the salsa ingredients around a little myself to adjust it to my own taste, I would suggest doing the same depending on what you like and don’t like. I added extra of the green chile salsa, because the original amount didn’t seem like enough, and extra red onion).

    Enjoy!

    Fresh Salmon Tacos
    Makes about 6 – 8 tacos

    Ingredients

    Santa Fe Salsa
    1 can (11oz) mexi corn, drained (I used regular canned corn)
    1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
    ½ cup black beans, rinsed, drained
    ½ cup shredded carrots
    ½ cup green chile salsa (I put more than ½ a cup, probably close to 2/3 cup)
    ¼ cup diced red onion (I love onion so I put in ½ a cup)

    Salmon
    2 salmon fillets (about 1 pound in total)
    1 tbsp jalapeno and lime flavoured olive oil (you can use plain olive oil)
    Salt to taste
    Pepper to taste
    Hard or soft taco shells (I used soft)
    Shredded iceberg lettuce

    Directions
    In a medium bowl, combine the Santa Fe Salsa ingredients
    Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush oil over salmon fillets, salt and pepper to taste
    Cook salmon in skillet, about 4 mins per side or until fish is flaky
    Let salmon cool then break into chunks
    Spoon the Sante Fe Salsa onto the taco shells, garnish with some shredded iceberg lettuce and top with salmon pieces

  • LaurenA I love your photo! I have an Australian Shepherd, what fun, nutty dogs huh? haha!

    Well I'm ending my day a good note - breakfast for dinner! I'm having a bowl of raw oats with toasted slivered almonds, dried cranberries and unsweetened almond milk. YUM!

    As for my "confession" - I didn't exercise today because I had class all morning, worked all afternoon/evening and then got home and went to bed because I was exhausted (I just haven't been getting enough sleep and I'm also sick). I figure today I'm allowed to recuperate a little and skip the workout!
