How to Make Salmon Quesadillas Simple And Sooo Yummy

  1. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray over medium heat. Add 1 clove minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant and softened.
  2. Stir in 1 cup cooked salmon (canned, leftover grilled, or pan-fried), 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, and a pinch of black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until heated through.
  3. Assemble the quesadillas: Place 1 large flour tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese onto one half of the tortilla. Top with 1/4 of the salmon mixture.
  4. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.
  5. Spray the skillet with cooking spray. Place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Alternatively, bake at 350°F (175°C) on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  6. Repeat steps 3-5 for the remaining quesadillas.
  7. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately. Garnish with guacamole and sour cream, if desired.
