Football is the focus and so is good snack food. For an interesting twist try serving chili con queso in hulled-out bell pepper vessels. It gives guests the opportunity to have their own for movement and prevents double dipping… Also, fish tacos are less common than traditional tacos. So add some excitement and try my salmon fish tacos for a winning recipe. © Kelly McBride Loft
Kelly’s Salmon Tacos
(The fresh salmon can be cooked the night before.) Prepare a baking dish with non-stick spray. Place 4 orange slices in the bottom of the dish. Remove the skin of 2 lbs. of fresh salmon. Rinse the fish (to completely remove any fish scales) and place it in a baking dish on top of the oranges that has been prepared. Pour 1 cup of cranberry juice into the bottom the dish with 6 tabs of butter. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the salmon. Then, lightly coat the fish with a good olive oil and lightly sprinkle kosher salt on top. Rosemary herbs are good on top of the fish but it is not necessary. Bake covered at 350° for 30 to 45 minutes until the fish is cooked. Refrigerate as soon as possible, if cooking the night before. The Tacos: crumble the cooked fish. Prepare condiments of guacamole, shredded cabbage (with chopped dill) and sour cream. Serve the salmon tacos with crunchy or soft corn tacos. It really is delicious! © Kelly McBride Loft
