Blackened Salmon Tacos

Submitted by Nate Soukesian

Ingredients

Use this base blend to make blackening seasoning, then adjust to your own preferences after you’ve used it a few times: 

• 2 tablespoon smoked paprika (or use regular paprika) 

• 1 tablespoon cayenne powder (use more for a spicier blend) 

• ½ teaspoon dried oregano 

• ½ teaspoon dried thyme

• 1 tablespoon onion powder 

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder 

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 

• 1 teaspoon sea salt 

• ½ teaspoon dried basil 

Additional Ingredients

• Salmon - Best if on a fishing/rafting trip like Nate and crew to use freshly caught fish!
• oil
• slaw
• tortillas
• toppings of your choosing

Directions

1. Cut Salmon in 2” squares and rub as much seasoning as you like. It's spicy!

2. Heat up a small amount oil in a pan and fry them up to desired crisp. 

3. Make your slaw however you like. We were on the river so we used: pre-made slaw in a bag and added ½ cup mayo and a good amount of La Costena diced chipotle peppers. 

4. Throw all that in a tortilla and enjoy!
