Salmon Tacos with Corn Salsa and Cilantro Lime Ranch

Salmon is my favorite. I love it. Another thing I really love is mexican, so why nit try and combine that? Here is two different versions of that salmon. One is a tortilla one is a salad, so whichever one you're most for, there is some for everyone!


Ingredients:
  • 2 (6 0z) salmon fillets
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Corn Salsa
  • 2/3 cup frozen corn, warmed
  • 1 medium Roma tomato, diced
  • 1 small Avocado, diced
  • 2 Tbsp finely chopped yellow onion
  • 2 tsp lime juice
  • 1 dash garlic powder
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

For Serving:

  • Flour or corn tortillas, warmed
  • Chopped Romaine lettuce
  • Parmesan Cheese, grated
  • Cilantro Lime Ranch
  • 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 Tbsp buttermilk ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (about a small handful)
  • 1 small clove garlic
  • Juice of 1/2 - 1 lime
  • Blackened Salmon Tacos
  • In a shallow mixing bowl, using fork, combine flour, chili powder, paprika, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper. Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Baste salmon fillets with 1/2 tsp olive oil on each side and dip salmon into spice mixture and generously coat each side. Place coated salmon in preheated skillet and cook 3-4 minutes per side until outside is lightly blackened and center of fillet is cooked through and opaque. Flake salmon using a fork. Assemble tacos by dividing salmon among tortillas, top with lettuce, corn salsa, cheese, and drizzle with Cilantro Lime Ranch. Serve immediately.
