Recipe View Blacken the Salmon: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook until the skin is deeply crisp and easily releases from the pan, about 4-5 minutes.

Recipe View Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the salmon fillets. Gently peel off the skin (it should easily separate). Season the top of the salmon with a bit more seafood rub, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking until the salmon is lightly browned on the second side and flakes easily with a fork, about 3-4 minutes, depending on the thickness.

Recipe View Assemble the Tacos: Place one piece of blackened salmon on each warmed tortilla. Top generously with the chilled mango avocado salsa. Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing over the tacos. (2 minutes)

For extra flavor, consider grilling the mango and bell pepper before dicing them for the salsa.
If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeno before dicing. For more heat, leave some seeds in.
To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with lime juice immediately after dicing.
Ensure your skillet is hot before adding the salmon to achieve a good sear and crispy skin.
Feel free to add other toppings such as shredded cabbage, sour cream, or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce.
