Instructions
PREPARE THE MANGO SALSA:
In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients for the mango salsa. Cover and keep refrigerated until ready to use.
PREPARE THE SALMON TACOS:
In a frying pan (cast iron is best for blackening), add 1 tablespoon of oil and heat to medium-high.
Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of the blackening seasoning to cover the bottom of a shallow dish.
Slice the salmon fillets in ½-inch strips and dredge them in the blackening seasoning.
Add the salmon to the frying pan and cook for about 4 minutes, turning once.
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.
