  • 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.
