Cooking Tips

  • Make sure to pat the salmon fillets dry before applying the blackened seasoning to ensure a crispy crust.
  • Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper in the blackened seasoning to suit your spice preference.
  • Feel free to add additional toppings to the tacos, such as avocado, shredded lettuce, or diced red bell pepper.
  • If you prefer a spicier salsa, leave the seeds in the jalapeno. For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membrane before dicing.

Storage and Serving

  • Leftover blackened salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • To reheat the salmon, place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Serve the tacos immediately after assembling to ensure the tortillas stay warm and crispy.
  • These blackened salmon tacos are great for a casual dinner or for entertaining guests. Serve with a side of Mexican rice or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
