{This is part of a compensated campaign with Chicken of the Sea}
Even in the midst of running from swim lessons to karate during the week, I still carve out time in our schedule to cook dinner most nights of the week. Since time doesn’t allow for elaborate meals, I’m always looking for healthy recipes that can be made quickly in under 1 hour.
My kids love tacos, and since I don’t eat any meat, we’ve started including fish as our main source of protein. There is a local restaurant that serves up fresh Baja Fish Tacos and surprisingly, it’s one of my kids’ favorite dishes. So in an effort to re-create the dish at home, I picked up a few packages of Chicken of the Sea’s Wild Caught Salmon to make Fish Tacos!
The recipe is surprisingly easy and pairs nicely with fresh pico de gallo, a creamy white sauce, fresh cabbage and avocado. I also set out a variety of toppings including jack cheese, cilantro, chives, and fresh lime so that each of us could personalize the tacos.

Combine flour, salt, pepper and beer and set aside to rest for 15 min

If time is a barrier to cooking fresh, healthy meals, you’ll love Chicken of the Sea’s Flavored Salmon Pouches, now available at Walmart. Salmon is a great source of protein, particularly for those who don’t eat meat (like myself) and contains nutrients essential for heart and brain health. If you visit Walmart.com, you can download a coupon for savings on your next purchase of Chicken of the Sea’s Flavored Salmon Pouches or Tilapia Select Fillets through March 31st, 2016 (coupon can be redeemed through April 30th, 2016).
While this particular recipe does involve some preparation and cooking, you could easily heat the salmon directly from the pouch over a skillet for a few minutes, then put these Fish Tacos together for a meal that would take less than 30 minutes. Because the fish is already flavored, you really don’t need to add any additional ingredients or seasonings. Create your very own fish taco bar with your favorite toppings including cheese, salsa, and fresh vegetables.
