Ingredients

MANGO SALSA:

• 1 large mango, peeled and chopped
• ¾ cup jicama, peeled and chopped
• ½ medium cucumber, chopped
• 1 large nectarine or peach, peeled and chopped
• 15 sprigs cilantro, stems removed and chopped very finely
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 2 teaspoons granulated white sugar, (more or less, to taste)
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

SALMON TACOS:

• 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons blackening seasoning
• 1½ pounds fresh salmon
• 8 taco-sized flour tortillas, warmed
• 1½ cups chopped green leaf lettuce

Instructions

PREPARE THE MANGO SALSA:

1. In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients for the mango salsa. Cover and keep refrigerated until ready to use.

PREPARE THE SALMON TACOS:

1. In a frying pan (cast iron is best for blackening), add 1 tablespoon of oil and heat to medium-high.
2. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of the blackening seasoning to cover the bottom of a shallow dish.
3. Slice the salmon fillets in ½-inch strips and dredge them in the blackening seasoning.
4. Add the salmon to the frying pan and cook for about 4 minutes, turning once.
5. Fill each tortilla with salmon, mango salsa and lettuce.

Notes

• The mango salsa recipe makes quite a bit, however, it's so delicious you'll likely have no problem using all of it using chips as dunkers!
• Blackening seasoning should be available in the spice section of your local market.
• These unique tacos go very well with Spanish rice and black beans. Enjoy them with a delicious pale ale.
