INGREDIENTS
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 Tablespoon paprika
- 1 Tablespoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 fillets salmon ; about ¾ pound
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 Tablespoons grapeseed oil
- 1 lime ; cut in half
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or light sour cream
- 1/2 lime ; juiced
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper or mild chili powder
INSTRUCTIONS
For blackened salmon tacos:
1. On a large plate, combine chili powder, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to make blackening seasoning. Stir with a fork to combine.
2. Season the salmon fillets with kosher salt on both sides.
3. Press one side of the salmon down into the blackening seasoning.
4. Heat a large, nonstick sauté pan over medium/high heat and add in grapeseed oil. Once hot (almost smoking) add in fillets, blackened side down.
5. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until a dark golden crust forms. Flip to the other side, reduce heat to low/medium, and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top. Flake the salmon apart with a fork into smaller, bite sized chunks.
7. Warm tortillas on the stovetop over a low open flame or wrap in a damp towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds.
8. Fill each taco with salmon and a dollop of Greek yogurt mixture (see below). Serve 2 tacos per person.
For garnish:
In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt or light sour cream with lime juice and a pinch of cayenne. Stir to combine and serve a dollop on top of the salmon tacos.
