These blackened tacos are the perfect addition to your next taco Tuesday! Seasoned salmon is topped with the most delicious kiwi pepper salsa for a wonderfully falvorful bite. Quick and easy to make, they're ready to serve in just 20 minutes.
Mix spices in a small bowl. Coat the salmon filets on each side (on the flesh side only if it has skin on) with the spice mixture.
Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet, and cook salmon about 3 minutes on each side, until it's cooked through and flakes. Shred salmon into large chunks.
To Make Kiwi Pepper Salsa
Mix all ingredients in a small mixing bowl, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
To Assemble the Salmon Tacos
Fill each tortilla with salmon chunks (about 1/3 of each salmon fillet), top with Kiwi Pepper salsa, and about 1-2 Tbsp of the avocado crema.
NOTES
1 serving = 1 taco
Take care not to overcook the salmon. It will only need about 3 minutes on each side.
You can use your favorite tortillas for the tacos. I like to use corn, but you can use flour or gluten-free. I like to warm the tacos in the oven for a few minutes to make them soft and pliable.
