Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Mango Salsa
  • 1/2 cup fresh mango chopped
  • 1/2 cup tomato chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion diced
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh cilantro finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon or lime juice
Blackened Salmon Tacos
  • 8-10 oz fresh salmon
  • 2 Tablespoons favorite seasoning blend
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 4-6 taco sized flour tortillas

Method
 

Mango Salsa
  1. Add all ingredients to a small bowl and mix well, until combined. Place in fridge until ready to top on tacos!
Blackened Salmon Tacos
  1. Slice salmon into two evenly sized pieces. Season generously on flesh side only. 
  2. Warm a cast iron skillet (preferably) with your olive oil over medium high heat. Once it's warm, add salmon skin side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side then remove from pan and set on cutting board, skin side up.  
  3. Gently remove salmon skin then slice the blackened salmon into small pieces.
  4. Clean seasoning out of pan then warm tortillas in pan for 1 minute on each side to lightly toast. 
  5. Remove mango salsa from fridge. Spoon salmon into warmed tortilla and then top with a big spoonful of mango salsa. Enjoy! 

Notes

You can use any seasoning blend but we prefer lightly cajun ones because it pairs really well with the mango salsa!
