Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 salmon filets
- 1 cup FAGE Total 0% Plain Greek Yogurt
- 8 gluten-free tortillas
Pineapple Avocado Salsa
- 1 avocado cut in small cubes
- 1 cup pineapple cut in small cubes
- ½ red bell pepper cut in small cubes
- ¼ red onion finely chopped
- 2 Tablespoon lime juice juice of 1 lime
- 2 Tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro
- salt and fresh black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
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.
Cup of Yum
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.
