Why We Love It
What do kids love more than tacos? Okay, pizza, but tacos are up there too. This is a great way to make the usual dinner a little more exciting without spending too much time in the kitchen. You’ll also really enjoy how the smoky flavor of cumin blends with the flavor of the wild salmon while undercutting the fishy smell. You can always switch out your wild salmon tacos for another fish (or even turkey and chicken) if you want to mix it up every now and then.
