southwest salmon salad
This is a delicious summery salad. The heat from the salmon and crunchy sweet chipotle tortilla strips are delish! You can tweak the spiciness of this dish depending on the amount of seasoning you add to your salmon. I recommend broiling the fish, but you can grill if you choose.
