Salmon is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids. Here, it's added to traditional taco ingredients for a quick and nutritious meal.

Gold Rush Tacos

1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained

Toppings: Salsa, shredded lettuce, chopped green onion, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, olives, sliced avocado and sour cream.

1. Drain and flake salmon, removing skin and bones if necessary; set aside.
