Fish tacos may have passed the Rubicon from hip to ordinary, but that doesn't make them any less delicious. This variation has flaky, healthy salmon topped with a delicious corn salsa, crumbly queso fresco, and, for a slight kick (or more, depending on your tastes), crispy jalapeño pieces. These hand-held flavor delights are also easy and quick to make, a weeknight dinner of dreams. Who needs to be hip, when you're satisfied and full?
