Instructions
To Make Blackened Salmon
- Mix spices in a small bowl. Coat the salmon filets on each side (on the flesh side only if it has skin on) with the spice mixture.
- Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet, and cook salmon about 3 minutes on each side, until it's cooked through and flakes. Shred salmon into large chunks.
To Make Kiwi Pepper Salsa
- Mix all ingredients in a small mixing bowl, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- To Assemble the Salmon Tacos
- Fill each tortilla with salmon chunks (about 1/3 of each salmon fillet), top with Kiwi Pepper salsa, and about 1-2 Tbsp of the avocado crema.
Notes
- 1 serving = 1 taco
- Take care not to overcook the salmon. It will only need about 3 minutes on each side.
- You can use your favorite tortillas for the tacos. I like to use corn, but you can use flour or gluten-free. I like to warm the tacos in the oven for a few minutes to make them soft and pliable.
