Salmon Tacos With Greens and Tomatillo Salsa Recipe (2024)

This was really tasty! I used high quality canned salmon (Costco sells a great canned salmon) and it worked perfectly. Also, to save some time, skip blanching the greens. Instead, chop the greens finely and add after the garlic and chile, then stir and cover with a lid for two minutes. Great with a good smoky hot sauce on top. Super easy weeknight meal!

I love this recipe! I've always used cooked, drained fresh spinach ( 1 1/2 to double what the recipe calls for) when I've made it and it. I also left out the cheese. I recommend that you use the shredded cabbage as it gives the whole thing a nice crunch. The flavors are very bold and these are a wonderful, different way to have fish tacos.

Sooo delicious! To make this recipe easier for a quick weeknight dinner, I ignore steps 1-3 and instead cook the main ingredients in one skillet: first olive oil, garlic and raw salmon. When the salmon is cooked through I throw in some handfuls of raw spinach and tomatillo salsa and simmer until the spinach is wilted. It’s done in 10 minutes.

What a great way to enjoy some fresh filets that were on their last day. The tenderness of the fish was perfect! I think I will always cook salmon at home this way from now on. To simplify, I just pulled up the sides of the aluminum foil after setting up my fish and poured some water straight into the pan. Yes, I spilled a little water on the floor but for me that’s better than an extra dish to wash :) I served these up with fresh sliced jalapeño, white onion, avocado, lemon and Greek yogurt.

Wow, this was such an easy and refreshingly delicious recipe. Highly recommend!

I simplified the preparation by sautéing the fish on top of the stove, then doing the garlic and greens in the same pan. I added a sliced bell pepper and baby spinach, didn’t blanch first. I then used the same pan to heat the tortillas.

Made according to the recipe except that I used a Thai bird chili instead of the serrano/jalapeño (and three in the salsa as well). Skipped the cheese, garnished with cabbage and chopped mango. Delicious!

Has anyone used other kinds of fish for this recipe? I'm wondering if cod or haddock would work well.

steamed frozen spinach and added mushrooms - really yummy.

Simple and amazing. Great Flavor. Cooked per recipe. A big hit.

I dried the salmon, dipped it in egg, then panko, and a quick fry for delicious results. Return to pan with the jalapeño and garlic!

This was great. I used a jarred tomatillo salsa but otherwise followed all the directions ... next time I will probably use frozen spinach to make it a little quicker. Agree with the previous reviewer on the cabbage, it was nice to add a crunchy element.

The instructions are very confusing! Do the instructions below mean that the fish should be placed in the pan?
"Fill a roasting pan or cake pan halfway with boiling water and place it on the oven floor. Place the fish in the oven and bake 10 to 20 minutes (depending on the thickness), ..."

Be careful with the spinach. The first time I made it, my spinach got way too soggy. It made for a mushy filling--I think I would like it better with just a barely cooked spinach. I grilled the salmon instead of baking it, and that was fantastic.
