On the finish of August, for our final summer season hurrah, me, the hubby & our 7 12 months outdated spent the week in Whidbey Island, simply north of Seattle, the place two units of my uncles and aunts reside.
We had been spoiled by lovely climate, beautiful views and a few mighty tasty meals, due to our West Coast hosts, who’re unbelievable cooks together with realizing the perfect native sizzling spots for espresso and eating.
Living proof – one memorable meal on the Steelhead Diner (pardon the restaurant lighting on this picture) :
Grilled Alaskan Sockeye Salmon with Creamy Hominy Polenta, Purple Cherries
& Smokey Almond with Rosemary Brown Butter Sauce
Swoon.
So, after all, I got here dwelling craving all issues salmon. And whereas nothing beats getting it contemporary from the Pacific Ocean (or the North Sea for that matter), Dealer Joe’s frozen salmon fillets are my regular go-to again dwelling.
Have you ever ever make tostadas? They’re so really easy – you bake your tortillas for five minutes at 400 levels F, then flip them, add your toppings and warmth one other 5 minutes and dinner is served.
I ended up doing a riff on my Sweetpotato & Kale Tostadas utilizing grilled salmon and jarred roasted pink peppers together with Cabot Jalapeño Mild Cheddar (I’m one which ignores the “seafood and cheese don’t combine” rule.)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 1/4 pound salmon fillets
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 8 corn tortillas
- 4 ounces Cabot Jalapeño Mild Cheddar, shredded
- 1 (12 ounce) jar of roasted pink peppers chopped (about 1 cup chopped)
- Cilantro leaves
- Lemon wedges
- Preheat oven to 400 levels Fahrenheit.
- Place a grill pan or skillet over medium-high warmth and add oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper over salmon fillets. Cook dinner salmon, pores and skin facet up, for 3 – 4 minutes then flip. Cook dinner one other 3 -4 minutes till salmon is cooked by way of and flakes simply. (You must be capable to simply take away salmon from the pores and skin, which can follow the pan.)
- Cool salmon for five minutes after which flake with a fork.
- On two cookie sheets coated with cooking spray, add tortillas and put in oven. Bake for five minutes and take away from oven. Flip tortillas and divide cheese, salmon and roasted peppers amongst all eight tortillas. Begin by sprinkling cheese on every tortilla adopted by cooked salmon after which roasted peppers. Return to oven. Bake for one more 5 minutes or till cheese is melted and tortillas are crispy.
- Earlier than serving, sprinkle every tostada with a number of contemporary cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice.
So so good and like I stated, so really easy.
