Salmon Tostadas

Salmon Tostada

Bake Salmon 400 degrees for 14-16 minutes.
Drizzle olive oil, salt and pepper over the top.

Corn Salsa

If you have not noticed, we like salmon. I make it all different ways and this
recipe is a great summer recipe. If you do not want to heat your house with
your oven then grill your salmon on the BBQ.


Recipe:

1. Cook salmon 400 degrees for 14-16 minutes. I love the non-stick foil for baking fish. Makes for an easy clean up and the fish does not stick at all.

2. Cook corn on the grill or the stove top and cool. Cut the kernels off of the corn. The best way is to use a bundt pan and stick the corn on the center part and the corn kernels will drop into the bowl.

3. Grill 1 jalapeno until charred and slice taking out the seeds. Put into a blender with the juice of 1 lime, 1/4 tsp salt, hand full of cilantro and stream in 1/4 cup olive oil while on puree.

4. Mix the cilantro jalapeno olive oil onto the corn leaving a small portion aside for the dressing. You can mix more cilantro in, chives, grilled red bell-peppers also are great in the corn salsa. Let it rest on the counter for the flavors to come together.

5. For the dressing add 1/2 cup buttermilk ranch dressing to the cilantro jalapeno olive oil mix and juice 2 limes into the blender. Puree and taste to see if you need to add any salt.

6. Mix 1 cup of sour cream with the juice of 1 lime.

7. Bake or fry corn or flower tortillas until crispy and set aside.

8. Mix the dressing and salad together.

9. Put it all together:
    Crispy tortilla
    Salad
    Salmon
    Corn salsa
    Lime sour cream
