Taco Tuesday has never been so easy or delicious! Blackened Salmon Tacos with Pineapple Salsa make a healthy, delicious, and easy dinner that you will want to make every week! (gluten-free, dairy-free)
When you live in Texas, it’s natural to turn everything into a taco. Beef, yes. Breakfast, double yes. Chicken, duh.
So of course, I had to wrap up my favorite seafood in a tortilla and turn it into a taco Tuesday dinner!
These blackened salmon tacos are the perfect meal when you are craving tacos and want to switch up your normal routine. Topped off with an easy, sweet and spicy pineapple salsa, and creamy avocado, these tacos are a super flavorful dinner that your family will love!
Let’s just talk about that pineapple salsa for a minute. Pineapple, jalapeño, cilantro, onion and lime. These 5 simple ingredients combine to make the most delicious sweet and spicy salsa that tastes so fresh and goes perfect on everything from these blackened salmon tacos, to chips, to grilled chicken, to salads. So you should make a lot. Just sayin’.
I used my easy blackening seasoning to season the salmon for these tacos. You just season the salmon, sear it in a skillet, and top with the delicious pineapple salsa, and dinner is served! What could be easier?
I love my blackened salmon tacos on corn tortillas, but feel free to use any kind you like. Grain-free, flour, lettuce cups, really anything goes. We keep things simple on taco night and just make some guacamole to go with them, but whip up some beans or sautéed veggies to serve with them if you like. Or make them on a weekend with a batch of skinny margaritas for a real fiesta!
