Salmon with Mango Salsa

Ever since I first tasted the combination of mango salsa and savory meat or seafood, I’ve craved it consistently. Grilled fish tacos around here are almost always served with mango salsa, and marinated steak often is, too.

But my all-time favorite pairing for mango salsa is fresh salmon. Something about the combination of tender, flaky salmon with the sweet and tangy salsa pleases my taste buds so much. It’s a combination I add to my meal plan whenever I’m feeling in a rut.

There’s a few other great recipes out there that combine salmon with mango salsa, but ours is the best, thanks to three simple words: soy butter rice. It’s a side dish inspired by one of my favorite Korean restaurants that elevates any home meal.

Why You Will Love These Salmon Rice Bowls

  • Kids go wild for the soy butter rice, every single time. Even if they skip the mango salsa in their bowls, it’s still a wholesome meal.
  • Keeps those immune systems strong! Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, while mango provides a hefty dose of vitamin C.
  • It’s very meal prep friendly, if you want to make this as lunches for the week!

Steak Salad Recipe

Everybody in my family loves a really hearty salad with lots of delicious ingredients for dinner. We take our dinner salads seriously! They have to be enticing enough that we can’t wait to sit down at the table, and filling enough so we’re not snacking all evening.

This simple but gourmet-tasting steak salad recipe is one that’s on our menu time and time again, especially during grilling season. With special touches like seasoning the tomatoes separately, homemade quick pickled red onions and homemade dressing, it feels really special even though it’s not a lot of work.

And I’m sharing my little steak salad secret today – I use basil as a salad green. As in, I put so much basil in my salad that you might mistake it for spinach on first glance (and there is also spinach going on here). It sounds odd, but it adds such a burst of bright flavor that pairs so well with the rich steak and avocado. Try it and I hope you’ll love it, too.

Why You Will Love This Steak and Salad Recipe

  • With premium ingredients like steak and avocado, this recipes allows you to recreate the experience of a high-end steakhouse salad right at home.
  • Almost every single element can be washed, cooked, chopped and/or prepped in advance. It’s perfect for meal prep. Keep everything in the fridge and combine just before eating.
  • Customize this recipe with your favorite add-ins or change up the dressing.

This Pork Tenderloin Tacos with pineapple salsa recipe uses smart ingredient choices to make a restaurant-style dish easy enough for a weeknight or casual gathering.

Pork Tenderloin Tacos

If you’ve ever enjoyed an al pastor taco and love that succulent combination of pork marinated in pineapple, you’ve come to the right place.

This isn’t a strictly authentic Mexican recipe, but my interpretation of it using grilled pork tenderloin, that’s easy enough for a weeknight or a casual weekend gathering.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin is something that’s on my family’s dinner menu at least once a week, all summer long, every summer. I’ve grilled pork tenderloin hundreds of times, and turning it into tacos is such a great way to serve it.

Grab your grilling tongs and let’s make these pork and pineapple tacos topped with all the good things like avocado and cheese!

Why you’ll love these Pork and Pineapple Tacos

  • The sweetness of the pineapple paired with the savory pork creates a burst of flavor in every single bite.
  • Lean pork tenderloin keeps these tacos light tasting for hot summer days, and pineapple adds a boost of vitamin C.
  • This recipe can be enjoyed year-round, by using a grill pan indoors in the colder months.

You need to try a Sonoran Hot Dog

If you’ve never tried the street food delight that is the Sonoran hot dog, you might not know what what you’re missing.

It’s like a mash-up of a really great hot dog and a really great taco, PLUS BACON.

I’ve been perfecting this recipe at home for years, since I first tried it at a local restaurant and decided I loved it, but would love it more if it were homemade, with the exact toppings I wanted.

It might look complicated but I assure you it’s anything but. Simply wrap a slice of raw bacon around a hot dog and put it on the grill. The bacon will crisp up at the same time as the hot dog cooks on the grill.

Then, you can finish it off with whatever toppings you love. Refried beans, queso fresco, tomato, avocado, cilantro and sour cream are thought starters, but the sky’s the limit.

Why you’ll love these Mexican Hot Dogs

  • The combination of smoky bacon, savory hot dog and cool creamy condiments makes each bite a flavor explosion.
  • It’s perfect for any occasion where you want something different and exciting – parties, BBQs or casual dinners.
  • You can easily adapt the toppings to suit each diner’s preferences and dietary needs. My kid gets a bacon-wrapped hot dog with no toppings, and I get a fully loaded Sonoran hot dog!
