Taco Tuesday
Last week I went out for tacos and was reminded why the alliterative Tuesday night meal is always a great idea. I took a stab at whipping up my own version with salmon last night with a dry-rub and tomatillo-avocado slaw that I’d gladly make time and time again (recipe here). It was a multi-step process, which I find oddly calming and most importantly, a learning experience while in the grocery store. After scanning the entire produce section, I realized I had never seen a whole tomatillo and seriously considered buying a canned salsa. Instead, I surreptitiously asked an employee where the little fruits were located without disclosing that I had no idea what they looked like. I only hoped he hadn’t seen me walk by them five times just minutes before.

I’m loving that you’ve never seen a tomato. I’m from Canada – that stuff is all over the place (fresh produce – I mean)
That looks really good – and a little messy!
They look great. I’ll have to try. Thanks for the post.
they look delicious! you have such an eye for making the simplest photos look special!
MMMmmm…this looks great!
those tacos look delicious!!!
I want to eat some tacos now!
Mmmm… I’ve been craving fish tacos since the to-die-for ones I had in Maui. Your photos are drool-worthy. Now the question remains: will I find perfect ripe avocados and tomatillos in Montreal in September? I doubt it but I gotta try!

yum! this photos make me want tacos, and i haven’t even had breakfast!
Wow, looks amazing. I love slaw.
This looks amazing!
Yummm!! So funny, I learned how to make a salsa verde with tomatillos last weekend- I had never seen them before either! Tasty!
Mmmm… this looks fantastic! I am a BIG fan of anything Mexican-inspired and the Hubs loves tacos, so this looks like a winner in our house
I was thinking of playing around with a white fish taco, topped with fresh mango salsa – another light & fresh meal!
Thanks – XO

You make meals that are simple yet delicious-looking. I used to work on a show where they would have “Taco Tuesdays” from crafty–it was always yummy!

The meal looks delicious. You are quite the little cook!! I need to become a better cook, without a doubt.
Yum! I love tomatillo salsa, but have never tried to make it before. Now I know what they look like.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you for posting this, I happen to have all the ingredients right now. I think I’ll make it for lunch!
Ha! So THAT’S a tomatillo! Wouldn’t have known myself. In college, my roommate and I went to the grocery store to buy the ingredients for a recipe we were making that involved sake. Only, neither one of us had ever heard of sake, and were wandering the spice aisle looking for something called “sake” (pronounced with a hard “a”). Seeing as I’m now 100% in love with Japanese food, it’s especially hilarious to look back on!
BTW these look delish. Also, I will be by next Tuesday for the alliterative meal:)
mmm.. I love taco tuesday! those look delicious!

What a coincidence! I also purchased tomatillo for the first time last night and made a yummy salsa in my molcajete. Grilling the tomatillos before hand produced such a wonderful aroma; I was practically salivating. I may just have tacos for dinner again tonight. ^_^
Wow! I am saving this recipe! Looks delish! Thanks for sharing!

YUMMI!
Wow, awesome recipe, thank you! I must try these out on my husband…
YUM! I think I will be making tacos this weekend!
There is a restaurant (Aqua Verde) in Seattle that sells a similar dish, except that salmon is smoked. Delish!
I made this tonight for my family and it was a pretty big hit! Thanks for putting up this great recipe–I never would have found it without you! It was a little hard finding tomatillos in season in New England but it was worth the search. Also, I added a little sugar to the slaw and I thought it worked a little better. It was great, I definitely recommend!
I just made this recipe, used a little different recipe for the fish but the same one for the tomatillo slaw. It was delicious! Yours looks a lot better though, ha. Thanks for the idea!

Oh that looks yummy! I’ve never tried making my own fish tacos before but I really feel like trying it out after seeing this!
tacos are amazing any day of the week. This was our Sunday night dinner! http://2goplease.blogspot.com/2011/05/fava-bean-avocado-and-bbq-tofu-salad.html
I made this dry-rubbed salmon over the weekend, & oh my goodness if it wasn’t the most amazing thing ever!!! I tweaked the sauce because I’m on a diet & used frozen peas instead of the tomatillo & avacado, & plain non-fat yogurt instead of the sour cream. I served the flaked salmon with the sauce drizzled on top & cut up green peppers & radishes to dip in the sauce. It was so good I made it again the next day. Thanks for finding this one!!
