Leftover salmon? Get creative!
We had a leftover salmon fillet from the night before and didn't know what to do with it. I decided to give salmon tacos a try, and I'm so glad I did! You could do the same style taco with really any fish that you have leftover. I know it's difficult to find ways to eat leftover fish; so here is a simple and easy option! I kept it really basic with the toppings, but added a little extra flavor with the avocado cream sauce. I made my sauce thick, but you can easily just add extra water to make it more runny.
...I could use the leftovers on multiple lunches the following two days.
The best part of the avocado cream sauce is I could use the leftovers on multiple lunches the following two days. For example, we had leftover burgers from the week, and I used it as a topping opposed to your normal sauces on a burger. The next day, I added it to a salad, as if it were guacamole (super simple and very delicious).
