Baja Fish Taco Salad with Chili Tartar Sauce

May 17, 2021 1 Comment

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Baja Fish Taco. I think it has a lot to do with my fish and chip-heavy upbringing. I just can’t say no to beer-battered anything. Whenever I’m fortunate enough to find myself in a taqueria, I inevitably add a Baja Fish Taco to my order. I just can’t help it. And I would guess, neither can you. The Baja Fish Taco seems to be almost universally loved. But that won’t stop me from fiddling with it. Although to be fair, today’s Baja Fish Taco Salad is just a simple format change. What’s the point of improving upon perfection?

Today’s recipe is a pretty piece of fusion. Yes, I know, what a surprise. This Lobster Curry Noodle Soup is yet another product of simultaneously food cravings. In this case, my brain zeroed in on the seafood chowder of my youth and curry laksa. To my mind, this is almost poetic. The chowder is a taste of my childhood, while the laksa represents all the dishes I was introduced to when I moved to Toronto. My past and present are contained in this soup. But that’s not particularly important to you. What is important to you is how this soup tastes. And I can assure you, it is beyond divine.

Today’s Honey Habanero Shrimp offers a fiery take on the classic shrimp scampi. Served on a bed of fluffy and flavorful rice pilaf, accented with tarragon and toasted orzo, this meal boasts a contrast of bold and nuanced flavors. And it’s simple, like, weeknight simple. And very spring-friendly. Temperatures haven’t quite hit spring levels in my neck of the woods. Sure, we’ve had some lovely days, but we also had snow last week. So my palette is ready for lighter fare, but shifting weather has me looking for comfort. This dish strikes the perfect balance between cozy and fresh.

I don’t know nor understand the origins of Taco Tuesday. Is it merely a product of convenient alliteration strung together by a marketing executive and disseminated through the public consciousness via adverts for taco kits? Or was it an established social norm, absorbed by the Internet and subsequently advertising firms? Basically, it’s a classic chicken or the egg paradox. We may never know how Taco Tuesdays became so ingrained in us. And I do mean ingrained. I feel a little guilty for not posting these Seared Haddock Tacos on a Tuesday. How nuts is that?
