With so many salmonella lettuce recalls, I had this “deconstructed” i.e. in a bowl without the lettuce, and it was sooooo good! <3

I love it. I have been vegetarian for two years so this is my first time eating fish/meat in a while again , being on the Z-shred plan.
I was a bit scared of the taste but it’s very nice. The guacemole is very spicy and I don’t have the white sauce on the picture. Not sure if I have a different tahini?

Did any body figure out, if its 2 salmon filet 6 oz each? or total of 6 oz filet? How many “tacos” am I suppose to eat for each day?

This was so easy and so delicious! I used tzatziki sauce instead of the tahini. VERY good!

Awesome recipe, so easy and so healthy. Put guacamole leftovers into the freezer, hope it’ll be as good tomorrow. But frankly I prefer eating everything immediately after being cooked.

Guacamole with cilantro is a BOMB. I love it.

I’m starting this plan AFTER I went grocery shopping days ago so I had to make-do with what I have in my house. Luckily, I had everything and I was going to use a tinned salmon instead of fresh which I was glad to use bc I was short on time to cook the salmon. However, I didn’t have any in my pantry but had a delicious tuna steak( that was tinned also). I added more of the guacamole to my serving bc it has less fat than salmon. Excellent meal!

For salmon lettuce tacos, is 2 six ounce filets, or just 2 filets that add up to 6 ounces?

I can’t get over how amazing this recipe is! And I hope I never do :D. This time I’m already quite well trained – I made it after waking up from an afternoon nap and it seemed easy! Yum my life.
