Sweet And Spicy Salmon Taco with Mango Pico de Gallo
Before I get to the amazingly delicious salmon taco recipe I want to announce that after a great deal of diligent effort I have finally completed my recipe page. As of now if you click on the recipe button just under the header you will have a complete list of the recipes in my blog from the very first one. Each and every recipe listed has a link to the post where you can find it. Unfortunately this was a long, arduous process that I kept putting off for the proverbial rainy day. Well today was that day, literally. It actually was raining so I sat down at the computer and completed my task. Yeah!! From now on it will be easy because each time I write a recipe I can enter it immediately before the list grows long. And on that note I want to tell you all about the salmon tacos that complete the trio of tacos from our party. Just about the time that I was starting to compile a menu I came across this recipe in an unlikely place. I was reading a back issue of Coastal Living Magazine and there it was, an easy and delicious sounding recipe for fish tacos. But not your run of the mill fish tacos these were made with salmon and the accompanying cabbage slaw sounded so good that I decided to make this the slaw to go with both the fish and the chicken tacos. Of course I did tweak the recipe just a little to put my own personal slant on it.
