- 2 medium tomatoes, cored and diced into 1/4-in cubes
- 1 medium jalapeno, minced
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup minced red onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Blackened Salmon Tacos
- 3/4 teaspoon paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 lb skinless salmon fillets
- Warmed corn tortillas, diced avocado, and lime wedges for serving
Instructions
Grilled Pineapple Salsa
- Using a grill pan or nonstick aluminum foil, grill pineapple planks over medium-high heat, turning occasionally until pineapple is slightly charred (alternatively, pineapple may be broiled under high 5-8 minutes OR cooked in a little vegetable oil in a cast iron pan over medium-high heat)
- Allow pineapple to cool several minutes, then finely dice into 1/4-in cubes and toss in a large bowl with tomatoes, jalapeno, cilantro, red onion, and lime juice. Season salsa with salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate until ready to use.
Blackened Salmon Tacos
- In a small bowl, combine all spices. Rub spice mixture evenly all over salmon fillets.
- Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill salmon fillets on a sheet of nonstick aluminum foil 2-4 minutes on each side until salmon registers around 130F (alternatively, salmon may be broiled under high 5-8 minutes OR cooked in a little vegetable oil in a cast iron pan over medium-high heat)
- Crumble salmon into bite-sized pieces and arrange in corn tortillas. Top with salsa, avocado, and serve with fresh lime squeezed over top. Enjoy!
Notes
Tacos are best if served immediately after assembling.
