Ingredients
For the salmon
- 1 pound salmon fillets, fresh or frozen and thawed
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon ancho chili powder (or regular chili powder if you can’t find ancho)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
For serving
- small tortillas (corn or flour)
- fish taco slaw
- chopped cilantro
- sliced radishes
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Pat the salmon dry. In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, chili powder, ancho chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Season the flesh side of the salmon only with the seasoning mixture.
- Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-heat. Add the salmon skin side down and cook until the skin is crispy and browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes depending on the thickness, until the flesh is opaque and flaky.
- Transfer salmon to a plate and let it rest and cool slightly for 3 minutes. Flake the salmon into large pieces using a fork, discarding the skin if desired.
- Serve in warm corn or flour tortillas with fish taco slaw and garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced radishes, and lime wedges.
