Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon
  • 3 Tbsp canola or avocado oil divided
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper optional
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • corn tortillas

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, combine flour, chili powder, paprika, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper.
  2. In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat 2 tbsp of canola or avocado oil.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil on the salmon fillets and rub the spice mixture on both sides of the salmon.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  • Calories do not include tortilla or toppings
