Instructions

In a small bowl, combine flour, chili powder, paprika, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper.
In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat 2 tbsp of canola or avocado oil.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil on the salmon fillets and rub the spice mixture on both sides of the salmon.
Place coated salmon in preheated skillet and cook 4-5 minutes per side until outside is lightly blackened and center of fillet is cooked through and opaque. Note: If using salmon with skin on, place the non-skin side on first on the skillet.
Once it's cooked through, shred the salmon into chunks with a fork. You can do this on the skillet or on a separate bowl.
Serve hot on warm corn tortillas and top with Cilantro Lime Ranch, Corn Salsa, and lime juice. Enjoy!!!

Notes

If the salmon still has the skin on, place non-skin side down first.
This recipe calls for 1 pound of salmon. If it's one large filet from the grocery store, just slice it into smaller proportions for even & faster cooking time.
