Salmon Burritos with Chile-Roasted Vegetables
Karen Steffens
We replaced the usual rice with pan-roasted sweet potatoes, onions, and poblano chiles, giving this burrito a healthy dose of fiber as well as heart-protecting micronutrients such as carotenoids (in the sweet potatoes), flavonoids (onions), folic acid (cabbage), and omega-3 fatty acids (salmon). Prep and Cook Time: about 45 minutes.
How to Make It
Step 1
1
Preheat oven to 425°. Line two 12- by 15-inch baking pans with aluminum foil.
Step 2
2
Whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, ground dried chiles, and salt.
Step 3
3
Rinse salmon and pat dry. Brush flesh side of salmon with 2 tablespoons of the lime-chile marinade. Set aside.
Step 4
4
In a medium bowl, toss the sweet potato, zucchini, onion, and chile with the remaining marinade. Arrange vegetables in a single layer on the baking pans.
Step 5
5
Roast vegetables for 10 minutes, then add salmon, skin side down, to one pan and return to oven. Continue roasting until potatoes are tender when pierced and salmon is opaque but still moist-looking in center of thickest part, 7 to 10 minutes.
Step 6
6
Remove skin from salmon and slice fillet into six equal portions.
Step 7
7
Spoon vegetable mixture equally onto warm tortillas. Top each with a piece of salmon and a little cilantro, cabbage, and sour cream. Fold tortilla over the filling. Serve with more sour cream and the lime wedges.
