Turn Up The Heat With Spicy Salmon Tostadas

Grilled salmon tostadas with sriracha-dressed slaw is a delectable entrée with the perfect kick of heat to spice up your summer. “This recipe has just the right amount of heat to awaken your guests’ taste buds,” says Tom Filippou, executive chef for President’s Choice Cooking School. For a fun and interactive entertaining experience, he recommends placing the ingredients on a buffet table and allowing guests to make their own tostadas that suit their individual tastes.
