Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Cut tomatoes into half-moons. Zest and quarter lime. Roughly chop cilantro. • In a small bowl, mix tomatoes, juice from one lime wedge (two wedges for 4), a pinch of salt, pepper, and as much cilantro as you like. Set aside, tossing occasionally, until ready to serve.
• Pat salmon* dry; season all over with Fajita Spice Blend, salt, and pepper. • Drizzle oil in a hot large pan. Cook salmon, skin sides down, until skin is crisp, 5-7 minutes. Flip; cook until cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate to rest. TIP: While salmon cooks, move to Step 3!
• Massage grain blend in package to break up grains; partially open package. Microwave until warmed through, 90 seconds. TIP: Microwave times may vary. Be careful when handling and opening the pouch. • Fluff grains with a fork and add juice from one lime wedge (two wedges for 4), salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. • In a second small bowl, combine sour cream and as much lime zest as you like. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.
• Serve salmon with tomato salad, grain blend, and guacamole. Drizzle salmon with crema. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
Salmon is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
