Ingredients

– 2 salmon fillets (6 oz. each)
– 1 tablespoon paprika

– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Creating Blackened Salmon Tacos is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Spice Mix: In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the blackening seasoning.
2. Season the Salmon: Rub the spice mix evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
3. Heat the Pan: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Cook the Salmon: Add the salmon fillets to the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until cooked through.
5. Remove and Rest: Transfer the salmon to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes. Flake it into bite-sized pieces.
6. Warm the Tortillas: In the same skillet, briefly warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
7. Assemble the Tacos: On each tortilla, layer the flaked salmon, sliced avocado, and shredded cabbage. Top with corn salsa and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
8. Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos for an extra burst of flavor.
