Fish Tacos

Steaming
hot tortillas filled with grilled white fish (we like Mahi Mahi),
shredded cheese, chipotle sauce, diced avocado and tomato, and freshly
snipped cilantro! These fish tacos are easy and one of my favorite ways
to serve grilled fish!
Yield: 

12 fish tacos (3-4 servings)
Ingredients: 

12 corn tortillas, about 5″ in diameter*
several tablespoons of oil, for cooking tortillas

Filling ingredients:

1-2 cups hot cooked pinto beans or refried beans
3 cups sliced or diced grilled mahi mahi or other white fish (freshly grilled or re-warmed)
Chipotle hot sauce, for serving
1-2 cups (4-8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend
1 large or 2 small avocados, diced
1 large or 2 small tomatoes, diced
2 stalks of green onions, chopped
1/2 cup (loosely measured) freshly chopped cilantro

Optional ingredients:

Hot cooked rice
Sour cream or tzatziki sauce**
Shredded lettuce
Finely chopped cucumbers

Instructions: 

1. Heat a heavy skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add ~1 teaspoon oil (sprinkle or spray on) to the hot surface and cook the corn tortillas, one at a time, for a minute or two on each side, until a few light brown spots appear. Tortillas should still be pliable and somewhat soft.***

2. To assemble tacos, place a tablespoon or two of the beans on the hot tortilla. Top with 1/4 cup of the fish, a splash of Chipotle hot sauce, a couple tablespoons of shredded cheese, and a pinch of avocado, tomato, green onions, and cilantro (and any additional ingredients you’re using).

Easy Baked Salmon Fillet

Juicy,
flaky seasoned salmon fillet, baked in the oven! Start from frozen or
thawed, and have a fabulous dinner with 5 minutes’ prep!
Yield: 

4 servings
Ingredients: 

4 salmon fillets (6-8 ounces each), frozen or thawed
2 teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring*
Freshly ground black pepper
Lemon pepper seasoning
Salt
Freshly-squeezed lemon juice, optional

Serving suggestions: cooked rice, potato wedges, and a green vegetable or salad Instructions: 

1.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet (with sides, to catch
drippings) with foil. Place a wire rack (I use a wire cooling rack) on
the foil-lined sheet. Place salmon fillets on wire rack, a few inches
apart.

2. Season both sides of the salmon fillets with a thin coating of
liquid smoke flavoring, some freshly ground black pepper, a sprinkling
of lemon pepper seasoning, and some salt. Squeeze fresh lemon juice
over, if desired. If you’re using good salmon that was properly cared
for/processed (and doesn’t smell “fishy”), feel free to skip the lemon
juice. 🙂 If your salmon has skin on one side, place it skin-side-down
and just season the top.

3. Bake salmon on wire rack/baking sheet in the middle of the oven
for about 15-20 minutes (thawed) or 30-35 minutes (frozen). Salmon is
done when the flesh flakes easily with a fork and internal temperature
is 145 degrees.

Serve with hot rice, salad, and/or a green vegetable.

3 cups hot cooked rice** (1 cup [dry] before cooking)
Instructions: 

1.
Heat a heavy skillet (such as cast iron) or non-stick skillet over

pepper and stir.

using freshly-grilled or baked salmon (still warm or hot), add to fried
mixture and stir gently.

3. Stir in maple syrup. Serve salmon and broccoli over the hot cooked rice.

yeast all at once, and stir until a soft dough forms. Add additional
flour if needed, and knead gently for 5-10 minutes, until dough is
smooth and elastic.

Alternately, you may mix this dough in a bread machine.
On the dough cycle, add ingredients in order listed and remove dough
when it is finished kneading. (Turn off the dough cycle at that time.)
Dough can be somewhat sticky.

Or, you can mix this dough in a stand mixer, until soft and elastic. Dough can be somewhat sticky.

2. Butter or grease a 16-inch round pizza pan. Using your buttery
hands, lift the soft, sticky dough onto the pizza pan and gently spread
to the edges.

3. In a 1-cup measuring cup, mix the ranch dressing and minced garlic. Use a spoon to spread the sauce mixture over the crust.

4. In a medium mixing bowl, toss together the mozzarella, cheddar,
and Parmesan cheeses. Spread about half of the cheese mixture over the
sauce.

5. Evenly spread the chicken, tomatoes, and green onions over the pizza. Top with the remaining cheese.

6. Bake pizza in a pre-heated 425-degree oven for 12-15 minutes.
Check pizza after 10 minutes, and continue to check every few minutes
until top is browned and cheese is bubbly.

7. Remove pizza from oven, allow to cool slightly, and slice (I use a kitchen scissors to slice mine). Serve hot and enjoy!

BBQ Chicken Pizza (Like California Pizza Kitchen)

A
thin-crust pizza with bbq sauce, chicken breast, sliced red onions, and
freshly chopped cilantro — like California Pizza Kitchen’s Barbecue
Chicken Pizza!
Yield: 

2 large, thin pizzas
Ingredients: 

For the crust:

1 1/2 cups warm water
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil
3 to 3 1/2 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon dry yeast

For the toppings:

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce (we like Sweet Baby Ray’s)
Butter, for greasing the sheets
16 ounces (4 cups) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 of a red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup (or more!) fresh chopped cilantro
Instructions: 

1.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and
coat with BBQ sauce, using about 1/2 a cup of the sauce. Bake uncovered
for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove from oven and allow
to cool for a bit; slice chicken thinly and set aside. Reserve extra
sauce from the dish for serving, if desired.

2. To make pizza crust, combine water, salt, and oil in a medium-size
mixing bowl. Add a cup of the flour, then stir in the yeast and another
cup of flour. Add enough remaining flour to make a dough and knead for
5-10 minutes, adding flour as needed to make a smooth, elastic dough.

*To make this dough in the bread machine: Add crust ingredients in
the order listed and select the DOUGH cycle. Use dough when cycle is
complete, or, remove dough after it is formed (and stop the dough cycle
from finishing the rising time).

3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Divide pizza dough in half. Liberally
butter two baking sheets (11×15-inch or 13×18-inch). Spread dough onto
the sheets. (If dough is too thick to spread, you can use a rolling pin
to roll the dough into a rectangle and then place on the sheet.)

4. Spread 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce over each crust. Spread half of the
mozzarella cheese over each pizza, followed by the sliced chicken breast
and red onions. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

5. Bake pizzas at 450 degrees for about 12 minutes — until toppings are browned and crust is lightly browned on the bottom. Cut pizza into squares and serve with fresh cilantro and extra bbq sauce from the chicken dish, if desired.
