 Blackened Salmon Tacos

• 8 corn tortillas
• 4 salmon fillets, skin-on (about 6 oz. each)
• 1 ½ teaspoons cumin
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon cayenne (omit or decrease for a mild flavor)
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Olive oil

Citrus Salsa

• 4 assorted oranges, peeled and segmented
• ¼ red onion, minced
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
• Handful of fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
• Juice of ½ lime
• Olive oil
• Sherry vinegar, or whatever you like
• Dash of chili powder or smoked paprika
• Salt and fresh pepper

 Instructions 

First, make the salsa: in a serving bowl, put your orange segments, onion, jalapeno and cilantro. Toss with the lime juice, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Sprinkle in a little chili powder or paprika if you want, and taste to adjust the seasoning.

 In a shallow bowl, mix together cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pat seasoning mixture onto both sides of each piece of salmon. In a large skillet, heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Place salmon in the hot oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip salmon with a spatula. Cook for about 5-6 more minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
