Instructions
- Dry salmon and place on a plate or in a mixing bowl.
- Pat the seasoning onto both sides of the salmon until evenly coated.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the fillets skin side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until salmon is halfway done. You will see the line where it is half cooked and a paler pink shows halfway up the salmon fillet.
- Flip the salmon fillets over and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through and a nice brown (but not quite black) crust develops. Please note: thicker fillets may need an extra few minutes to cook and you may need to reduce the heat to prevent the salmon from burning before cooked through.
- Warm tortillas according to package instructions.
- Make the sriracha mayo by adding all ingredients to mixing bowl and stirring until combined
- Assemble tacos by filling each tortilla with cabbage, cooked salmon, desired toppings, and the sriracha mayo.

Notes
- There are 7 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of these salmon tacos.
- Reduce heat under the skillet a little bit if the fillets start to burn before they are cooked through.
- Make sure your skillet is hot and don’t overcrowd. If you do the food will start to steam and ***wash off** the seasoning as well as slowing down the cooking process.
- Don’t keep flipping the salmon back and forth, try and flip it only once.
- Thicker salmon fillets may need another 1-2 minutes to cook through. You will see the line where it is half cooked and a paler pink shows halfway up the salmon fillet (see pictures below).
- Do not overcook the salmon. Once done, immediately take them out of the skillet or air fryer.
- Insert an instant-read digital thermometer into the middle of the fillets. A reading of 120F to 130F for medium-rare or 135°F to 145°F for more cooked.
- Make sure frozen salmon is fully thawed before cooking to avoid uneven cook times as well as adding water to the pan which boils the salmon instead of frying.
