Blackened Salmon Tacos have become almost a weekly meal in the Harmon house. Quick, simple and so delicious. When you find a combination like that...well, you just can't keep it to yourself. Check it out and let me know if you give them a try.
Blackened Salmon Tacos
Ingredients:
1 tsp Chili powder
1 TBSP Paprika
1 TBSP Black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
3 Wild Salmon fillets
12 tsp kosher salt
2 TBSP grapeseed oil...or olive oil
organic corn tortillas
Directions:
1. On a large plate, combine Chili powder, paprika, black pepper & cayenne pepper to make blackening seasoning. Stir with a fork to combine.
2. Season the salmon fillets with kosher salt on both sides.
3. Press one side of the salmon down into the blackening seasoning.
4. Heat a large nonstick saute' pan over medium/high heat and add in oil. Once hot, add in fillets, blackened side down,
5. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side or until a dark golden crust forms. Flip to the other side, reduce heat to low/medium and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and flake the salmon apart with a fork into smaller, bite sized chunks.
7. Warm tortillas on the stovetop over a low open flame or wrap in a damp towel and microwave for 12-20 seconds. Fill each taco with salmon and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
I like to add 1/2 lime juiced and a pinch of cayenne pepper to the greek yogurt.
