Ingredients

Blackened Salmon Tacos

  • 10 -12 oz salmon about .75 pounds
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp chipotle powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup chopped cabbage *optional for color
  • 8-10 street size tortillas
  • 1 cup Pineapple Pico De Gallo

Instructions

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.

Notes

*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.
