I used one tablespoon in place of the other ingredients in the cake and my husband picked the same blend in the smoked salmon. This roll-up delivered on flavor with so many ingredients inside.

Roasted Salmon Tacos
Inspired by fellow blogger Deb in Hawaii at Kahakai Kitchen, I made these roasted salmon tacos. This was a three step process but still pretty easy. I made the cabbage cucumber slaw one hour in advance. I used red wine vinegar instead of white because that is all I had. My husband made the salmon….
Salmon with Lentils
