Blackened Salmon Tacos with Mango-Avocado Salsa
Ingredients
  • 3 ripe mangoes - peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1 orange bell pepper, diced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon sweet and spicy seafood rub, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 skin-on salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed, divided
  • 6 corn tortillas
  • 3 large limes, cut into wedges
Instructions
1
Combine the juicy mangoes, creamy avocado, vibrant orange bell pepper, and spicy jalapeno in a spacious bowl to create a delicious salsa. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice, some chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt; mix everything together until it's perfectly combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for later use.
2
Next, sprinkle a generous amount of seafood seasoning, chili powder, salt, and black pepper over one side of each salmon steak. Use your fingers to rub the seasonings in evenly, making sure they're well-distributed.
3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat the bottom with olive oil. Carefully place one salmon steak skin-side down in the skillet and cook until the skin is crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the salmon over and use a spatula to carefully peel off the skin. Season the top of the salmon with the seafood seasoning, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking until the salmon is lightly browned on the second side and flakes easily with a fork, another 4 to 5 minutes.
4
Slice each salmon fillet lengthwise into six pieces.
5
Heat another skillet over medium heat and lightly oil it. Pan-fry corn tortillas one at a time, until they're heated through and pliable, about 30 seconds per side.
6
Place one piece of salmon on each tortilla. Top with the delicious salsa you created earlier, and finish it off by squeezing a wedge of fresh lime juice on top.
