# Helpful Tips:
01 -
- It turns last nights dinner into todays crispy gourmet meal in under twenty minutes.
- The tangy sauce cuts through the rich salmon, creating a perfect bite every time.
02 -
- A soggy tortilla is the enemy, so do not overload the sauce or skip preheating the oven.
- Slicing the onions very thinly ensures they caramelize slightly rather than staying raw and crunchy.
03 -
- Heat the tortillas in the oven for two minutes before adding toppings to ensure a firm base.
- If your salmon is heavily seasoned, skip the salt in the sauce to balance the flavors.
