Cooking Tips

• Make sure to pat the salmon fillets dry before seasoning them to ensure a crispy blackened crust.
• Adjust the amount of blackening seasoning to your taste preferences. You can make it spicier by adding more cayenne pepper or milder by reducing the amount.
• Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking. You can add avocado slices, pickled onions, or cilantro for extra flavor.
• If you don't have access to fresh salmon, you can use frozen salmon fillets. Just make sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
• Serve the tacos with a side of Mexican rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Storage and Serving

• These blackened salmon fish tacos are best served immediately while the salmon is still warm and crispy.
• If you have any leftovers, store the blackened salmon separately from the toppings and tortillas.
• Reheat the salmon in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
• Assemble the tacos with fresh toppings and tortillas when ready to serve.
