Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Blackened Salmon Tacos with Mango Avocado Salsa.
Step 1
To whip up a delicious mango avocado salsa, start by tossing together diced mangoes, creamy avocado, vibrant bell pepper, and a kick of jalapeno in a large bowl.
Step 2
Squeeze in some fresh lime juice, sprinkle in chopped cilantro, and add a pinch of salt to taste.
Step 3
Give everything a good mix, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
Step 4
Now, let’s turn our attention to the star of the show: the salmon.
Step 5
Season one side of each salmon fillet with a blend of seafood rub, chili powder, salt, and black pepper, making sure to rub the spices in evenly for maximum flavor.
Step 6
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in some olive oil to coat the bottom.
Step 7
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet.
Step 8
Cook them for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the skin is beautifully crispy.
Step 9
Gently flip the salmon, remove the skin, and season the top with the same seafood rub, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 10
Let them cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until they’re lightly browned and flake easily with a fork.
Step 11
When the salmon is perfectly cooked, slice each fillet lengthwise into six enticing pieces.
Step 12
In a separate skillet, add a touch of oil and heat it over medium heat.
Step 13
Warm each corn tortilla one at a time for about 30 seconds on each side until they’re soft and pliable, ready to cradle all that deliciousness.
Step 14
Now it’s time to assemble your masterpiece: place a piece of salmon on each tortilla, generously top it with the refreshing mango avocado salsa, and finish with a squeeze of lime for that extra zing.
Step 15
Enjoy every bite of this vibrant and flavorful dish that’s sure to impress!.
