Spice up taco night with these vibrant and healthy Blackened Salmon Tacos. Wild-caught salmon fillets are coated in a bold blend of paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne, then seared to create a flavorful, slightly charred 'blackened' crust while keeping the inside tender and flaky. The fish is flaked into warm, charred corn tortillas and topped with a crisp red cabbage slaw and a irresistibly creamy, cooling avocado crema. These tacos are a lighter, omega-3-rich alternative to traditional tacos, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner that feels exciting and gourmet. They're colorful, packed with flavor and texture, and absolutely delicious.
