10 Minute Salmon Quesadillas

By Erika in Dinner
Jump to Recipe

I love seafood, but my children do not. Actually, they like it sometimes and other times…not so much. And each kid is different. And just as quickly their tastes change. You see my dilemma. 

Recently, I had two cans of salmon just sitting there in my pantry. And I wanted to make something different than the typical salmon patties. So I found a recipe for Salmon Quesadillas and tried it out on a busy day when I almost forgot about dinner. It was fantastic. 

10 minute Salmon Quesadillas this idea now...

It took me about 10 minutes to make a single batch (I ended up making a double batch which took slightly longer, because we have a lot of people to feed) and everyone loved it! Including all four of my children, who gobbled up their Salmon Quesadillas and asked for more.

Friends, this 10 minute Salmon Quesadillas recipe is a real winner, both as a quick & easy meal and as a yummy salmon recipe the whole family will love. True, the amount of cheese in these quesadillas probably cancels out the healthy factor, but you can use low-fat cheese and the Omega 3-fatty acids are great for a healthy diet.

These 10 minute Salmon Quesadillas are so easy to make, this recipe is going into my select-always-keep-ingredients-on-hand meal list for those days when I’m too busy to make a regular dinner. 

Try it. So good!

      Sounds great.
      In step 1 you mention peppers but I don’t see any listed in the ingredients list?

          It is black pepper, but I forgot to add that on the ingredient list. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, Jessie. I fixed it! 🙂
