Oil for searing

1 mango (diced)

1 lime (juice squeezed)

1 jalapeno (diced)

1 cup packed cilantro leaves (chopped)

1 avocado (peeled, seed removed)

Instrucciones

For the creamy avocado sauce

Combine all ingredients in a blender. Pulse until smooth and creamy. Add additional tablespoons of water if too thick. Consistency should be similar to creamy ranch dressing.

For the tacos

Combine all mango salsa ingredients in a bowl. Mix and set aside.

Season salmon all over with blackening seasoning (sides, bottom, top). This should be done to taste, but I like a healthy dose that completely covers the salmon.

To grill: preheat the grill to medium heat. Cook for 4 minutes per side for medium. Toast the tortillas on the grill in the last few minutes until warm. To pan sear: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, sear salmon until golden and fully cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium.

Remove salmon from the heat and slice into taco-sized chunks. Serve salmon tacos topped with mango salsa and creamy avocado sauce.
