Regarding BBQ Inc.
Salmon Tacos are a fresh and healthy alternative to traditional tacos.

Try this grilled salmon taco recipe for a new take on a classic favorite.

  • 1 pound salmon fillet
  • juice of 1 lime

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Normally, I'm not a fan of salmon, but these tacos were delicious. The avacado ranch dressing was easy to prepare and the creaminess went well with the other ingredients.
