Spicy Salmon Fajitas for Dinner

Looking for more ways to Freshen up your diet with seafood? Whether it’s for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks, seafood fits into your meal plan with speed and lots of bonus nutritional benefits. Here’s another great idea to add to your seafood repertoire!

Don’t worry if you’re not big into spice – these fajitas are a pretty gentle way to add just a touch of kick to your weeknight dinner. On top of the fabulous flavours, they feature salmon as the main protein – one of the only natural dietary sources of Vitamin D, which is so hard to get in our northern climate. Vitamin D is essential for bone strength, helps reduce inflammation, and has been shown to reduce cancer cell growth, and you can get 100% of your daily requirement from just 4 ounces of cooked salmon.

And as an added bonus – these Salmon Fajitas are easy and quick, too!

Start by picking up one salmon fillet per person from our market, and don’t forget to grab a tub of our Old Bay Seasoning
Give each fillet a squirt of lime juice, then rub in some seasoning – be as tentative or generous as you like!
Heat a little oil in a heavy skillet on medium-high heat, and add the fillets when warm. Cover, and cook for 4 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional couple of minutes until cooked through.
Meanwhile, fry veggies in another pan – onions and red peppers are a must, but add your faves (try: mushrooms, broccoli, julienned carrots or halved baby tomatoes).
Shred some cheese, cut some avocado slices, and pull out some soft wheat or corn wraps.
Mix up a quick sauce of one third cup yogurt, two tablespoons lime juice, and a tablespoon of cilantro (if you like it!).

Lay everything out on the table and let your family assemble their wraps as desired. Leftovers can be kept in a sealed container in the fridge for up to three days – if there are any!
