Blackened Salmon Tacos

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.
