Salmon Tacos (carb-Counter)
Taco night got a protein upgrade and nobody complained.
Taco-Tuesday Lore
Flaky spiced salmon, a quick lime slaw, a Carb-Counter tortilla, and a hit of hot sauce. It's Taco Tuesday with 36 grams of protein and none of the deep-fried regret. (Adapted from your 18 Seafood Weeknight Meals list — R4.)

✂️ Trim Trim Trim
The fish is naturally lean, so the trim happens at the tortilla and the sauce: Carb-Counter tortillas instead of fried shells, and a Greek-yogurt lime slaw instead of mayo-loaded crema. That combo is where a 700-calorie fried-fish-taco plate becomes a 380-calorie one.
