Ingredients
Scale
2 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
2 teaspoons blackening seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 small corn tortillas
1 ripe avocado, diced
1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub both sides of each fillet with blackening seasoning.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and heat until shimmering.
Place the seasoned salmon in the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, combine the diced avocado, corn, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix gently to combine.
In a separate skillet or directly over a gas flame, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Once the salmon is cooked, flake it into large pieces. Place a portion of the salmon onto each tortilla and top with a generous scoop of corn-avocado salsa.
Serve the tacos warm, garnished with extra cilantro or lime wedges if desired.
Notes
This recipe takes about 20 minutes to prepare.
