Ingredients

Servings

For the blackened salmon

  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon thyme dried
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 salmon 6 to 7-ounce pieces, pin bones removed, skin-on
  • 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil

For the tacos

  • 8 corn tortilla or flour tortillas
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce shredded
  • 1 cup diced tomato
  • 1/2 cup red onion diced
  • 2 tablespoon cilantro minced
  • 1/4 cup tomatillo avocado salsa or sour cream
  • 1 lime cut into small wedges

Instructions

  1. To make salmon: In a small bowl combine the spices. Put the mixture on a plate or other flat surface and coat the portions of salmon, 1 at a time, on the flesh side only. Heat a large heavy-bottomed pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat, and add the oil. Add the salmon flesh side down. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until the skin is crispy. Once the salmon has slightly cooled, peel the skin away with a fork and shred into large chunks.
  2. To assemble: Char the tortillas on the stove-top (gas stoves only) until the edges are lightly burnt. Fill each tortilla with lettuce, tomato, onion, about 1/2 of each salmon fillet, a sprinkle of cilantro, a drizzle of fresh lime and a drizzle of sour-cream or salsa.
