Smoky blackened salmon tucked into warm tortillas with crunchy slaw — fast, fresh and a little bit fiery.

Ingredients

2 tbsp blackening seasoning
8 corn tortillas
2 cups shredded cabbage
½ cup sour cream
1 lime, cut in wedges
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp kosher salt

Steps

Season the salmon with the blackening seasoning and salt.
Sear in hot oil for 4-5 minutes per side until the crust is dark and the center is just opaque.
Warm the tortillas and stir the lime juice into the sour cream.
Flake the salmon into large pieces.
Fill the tortillas with cabbage, salmon and lime cream, and serve with lime wedges.

Serve with: lime wedges and a cold cabbage slaw.

Let the salmon rest a minute before flaking so it stays juicy.
