This recipe cuts a few corners without sacrificing flavor and nutrition. By using a taco seasoning packet instead of making your own blend of seasonings and a pre-shredded bag of coleslaw mix, you can pull these tacos together in 15 minutes.

Baked Salmon with Dill and Ginger Citrus Salad
Fresh dill with salmon is a beautiful combo. Add the sweet and sour zing of ginger and citrus and you’ve got a winning dish. Baking the salmon at a low temperature allows time for the flavor of the dill to infuse into the salmon and keeps the salmon moist and flakey. Serve the salmon alongside…
