Salmon Tacos

Things can get busy even when you are retired.  On Wednesday I had planned on having Salmon with Acorn Squash and Brown Rice for dinner but the Salmon wasn’t thawed out so we went to One Hot Mama’s for dinner.  On Thursday evening I had to do the shopping for the Snack Shack in the evening so we got a chicken from Sam’s club for dinner.  On Friday at 5:30 there is Meet and Greet and usually it last about an hour but this time it we finally left at 8:30.  Well the Salmon was still in the refrigerator, needing to be cooked, and we were not really hungry but the Salmon HAD to be cooked tonight.  What to do???  I decided to make Salmon Tacos.   So I took the Salmon sprinkled it with some Sea Salt, some fresh ground Pepper and a little Dill Weed and baked it at 350°for 20 minutes.   Then I made a sauce for the taco.  I took a ¼ C of Mayonnaise*, ½ tsp Dill Weed and 1 tsp Dill Relish mixed it together.  When the fish was done we took a warmed Tortilla put a little sauce on it, put some Salmon on and sprinkled some Cheddar Cheese on top.  They were very good and a fast, easy meal.  You could add other toppings if you wanted.  I would suggest some shredded Lettuce, chopped Tomatoes, perhaps a little Hot Sauce.  

• In the South, I found Duke’s Mayonnaise and it reminds me of the Homemade  Mayonnaise.  It is rich, thick and very tasty.  I highly recommend this product.
