Blackened Salmon Tacos
- 10 -12 oz salmon about .75 pounds
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tbsp garlic powder

- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup chopped cabbage *optional for color
- 8-10 street size tortillas
- 1 cup Pineapple Pico De Gallo
Blackened Salmon Tacos
Make the Pineapple Pico De Gallo. Let this sit and marinate while you prepare everything else. Start with slicing the cabbage and then in a small bowl mix blackened seasoning. Rub the salmon on both sides with seasoning. Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat oil on medium/high heat. Add the salmon (skin side down if it has skin). Let it cook for 5 minutes, carefully flip and cook the other side for another 5 minutes. Please note, salmon is always different thicknesses, keep an eye on the cook and adjust a bit if needed.
Chunk up the salmon and assemble the tacos. I like to add the cabbage to the bottom, layer it with salmon chunks and top with the fresh pico de gallo.
*Use white fish or chicken if you don't like salmon
*cabbage is optional
*If mangos are out of season or can't be found use peaches or strawberries.
