fish tacos for two!

fish tacos are not only delicious, but are also healthier than red meat tacos. we made these on monday with an avocado salsa/guacamole. we used salmon, but i suppose any fish would do. i just really like salmon, and i like how it changes colors while it cooks so i know that it's done cooking (versus orange roughy, which contrary to its name, is a white-fleshed fish, not orange.)

for the fishy part:

1/2 pound salmon was cubed, or rectangled, into small chunks. i mixed together 1/4 teaspoons of the following: black pepper, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, and garlic powder. i then put all the salmon chunks in with the seasoning and stirred it up. then i sauteed them in a frying pan until they were done with just a little bit of olive oil. easy!

for the avocado salsa:

1 avocado and 1 medium tomato were diced and put in a bowl. add 1/4 cup of diced onion. then we added 4-5 cloves of minced garlic (raw) and minced serrano pepper to it, but i suppose that part is all to taste. chop a handful of cilantro roughly and add as well. a dash of salt and pepper, and a nice squeeze of lemon or lime, stir it up, and VOILA! you're done!

for the eating:

just take a corn tortilla or taco shell or what have you, spoon in what you like, maybe add some sour cream or cheese if that's what you want, and have at it! so delicious, and it was perfect for a warm evening. oh, and we drank red stripe with it and it was good too. and the recipe was perfect for 2 people to eat 3-4 tacos each without being overly stuffed.
