Blackened Salmon Tacos with Pineapple Avocado Salsa
Fresh blackened salmon tacos are topped with a flavorful pineapple avocado salsa and a dollop of Greek yogurt. Easy and delicious dinner that the whole family will love.
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 Pineapple Avocado Salsa
Mix all ingredients in a small mixing bowl, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
To Assemble the Tacos
Fill each tortilla with salmon chunks (about 1/3 of each salmon fillet), top with pineapple avocado salsa, and about 1-2 Tbsp of the yogurt.
NOTES
You can make these blackened salmon tacos with skin on or off salmon fillets.
Pat the salmon dry before seasoning. This helps to remove excess water which can cause the fish to become soggy when cooked.
For best results, cook the blackened salmon in a very hot cast iron skillet.
The salsa can be made several hours ahead of time and be kept covered in the fridge. The lime juice will help to slow the browning process of the avocado.
