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 Pineapple Avocado Salsa
- Mix all ingredients in a small mixing bowl, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
To Assemble the Tacos
- Fill each tortilla with salmon chunks (about 1/3 of each salmon fillet), top with pineapple avocado salsa, and about 1-2 Tbsp of the yogurt.
Notes
- You can make these blackened salmon tacos with skin on or off salmon fillets.
- Pat the salmon dry before seasoning. This helps to remove excess water which can cause the fish to become soggy when cooked.
- For best results, cook the blackened salmon in a very hot cast iron skillet.
- The salsa can be made several hours ahead of time and be kept covered in the fridge. The lime juice will help to slow the browning process of the avocado.
