Salmon Fish Tacos
I have never really been a fish fan until my husband and I decided to start eating it for the health benefits. Since then we have found quite a few good recipes and I have really enjoyed eating it. One recipe I have not tried, but heard several people mention was fish tacos. I thought I would try making my own fish tacos, a healthy version, after hearing about how most fish tacos are fried.

For the tacos

Directions
For the tortillas
Mix 4 cups of flour and the rest of the ingredients together well. Knead in additional flour. Let the dough rise for about 20 minutes. Roll out into tortillas and cook in a sauté pan with non-stick cooking spray, about 2 minutes a side.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Place the salmon on sheet and sprinkle evenly with spices. Bake for 12 minutes, or until done. Flake the salmon using a fork.
To assemble, top each tortilla with the flaked salmon, mango salso, and a dollop of plain yogurt.
