FAQ'S

What goes with Salmon Tacos?
For this recipe we have used a simple salad garnish to go inside the tacos along with the salmon. As well as some Avocado Crema. Other alternatives you could do would be an avocado salsa, a pico de gallo, or some Mexican coleslaw. They would all go brilliantly inside this fresh summery taco.
How do you make juicy Salmon?
Using good quality salmon, and not overcooking it are the main ways to keep it juicy. In our case our head chef Susy also added butter on top, as well as a drizzle of olive oil, which would have kept it moist whilst cooking. Always a good trick!
How can I store leftover Salmon Tacos?
Deconstructed leftovers can be stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the salmon and assemble the taco when ready to eat.
