Ingredients
- 2 limes 1 juiced and 1 cut into wedges
- 2 teaspoons Cajun Seasoning
- 1 lb salmon fillets 4 pieces, skin removed
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
- 1 red bell pepper seeded and sliced
- 1 onion sliced
- 1 cup grape tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 avocado pitted, peeled, and sliced
- Cilantro Lime Dressing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the juice of 1 lime and Cajun seasoning. Spread the mixture on all sides of the salmon pieces.
- In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 to 7 minutes, until crisp-tender. Transfer the vegetables to a plate and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in the skillet. Add the salmon pieces and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the bottoms blacken, then flip and cook the other side for 3 to 4 minutes until blackened. Transfer the salmon to a plate and give it a rough chop into smaller pieces.
- While the veggies and salmon cook, put the grape tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet; drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with the salt. Roast until the tomatoes start to burst and turn black on a few sides, 5 to 10 minutes.
- To assemble the tacos, start with a later of pepper and onion on each tortilla, top with some salmon, charred tomatoes, and avocado slices, and drizzle with the dressing. Serve with lime wedges.
