Description
A delightful recipe for Blackened Salmon Tacos topped with creamy avocado crema, perfect for a flavorful meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the blackening seasoning.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and rub the olive oil over both sides. Generously coat the salmon with the blackening seasoning.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice char.
- While the salmon is cooking, prepare the avocado crema. In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
- Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces.
- To assemble the tacos, place a generous amount of shredded cabbage on each tortilla, followed by flaked salmon, diced tomatoes, and a drizzle of avocado crema. Top with chopped cilantro.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the tacos.
- Substitute the salmon with grilled shrimp or chicken for a different protein option.
