Blackened Salmon Tacos
Total time: 20 minutes, Serves 8 Tacos
Ingredients
For the blackened salmon:
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 (6 oz.) pieces salmon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the tacos:
- 8 corn or flour tortillas or Bibb Lettuce for wraps
- 2 cups green lettuce, chopped fine
- 1 can organic black beans (rinsed)
- 2 cups of cauliflower rice or white rice for kids
- 1 cup diced tomato
- 1/4 cup diced red onion (optional)
- 2 tablespoon minced cilantro
- ¼ cup greek yogurt as a sub for sour cream
- 1 lime, cut into small wedges
- 1 avocado
Instructions
To make salmon: In a small bowl combine the spices. Put the mixture on a plate and coat the portions of salmon. Heat a large heavy-bottomed pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat, and add the oil. Add the salmon flesh side down. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until skin is crispy. Once the salmon has slightly cooled, peel the skin away with a fork and cut salmon into large chunks. You can also broil the salmon on 500 for 8-11 minutes on foil.
Fill each tortilla or lettuce wrap with lettuce, tomato, onion, black beans, rice of choice, and about ½ of each salmon fillet, a sprinkle of cilantro, a drizzle of fresh lime and a drizzle of Greek yogurt or salsa.
