These blackened salmon tacos are topped with quick pickled radishes and red onion, an avocado cilantro cream and served on blue corn tortillas for one amazing bite!
Make the quick pickled radishes and onions by combining the vinegar, water, honey, salt and red pepper flakes in a small sauce pot. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally for 1-2 minutes then remove from heat. Place the radishes, red onions, peppercorns and cumin seeds (if using) in a mason jar. Pour the vinegar mixture over and let come to room temperature. Use immediately or cover with a lid and store in the refrigerator. These will last a few weeks.
Next, make the avocado cilantro cream sauce by combining all ingredients in a food processor and processing until smooth. Set aside.
For the salmon, combine all the spices in a small bowl. Coat the flesh with the mixture.
Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon flesh side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until nicely blackened. Flip the fish and cook skin side down for another 5-6 minutes until cooked to desired temperature (this will depend on thickness of filet).
To assemble, lay out the tortillas, place some red cabbage and cilantro leaves on bottom. Break the salmon into pieces and place on top. Dollop some of the avocado cilantro cream on top of that and finish with a spoonful of the pickled radishes and onions. Enjoy your fish taco feast!
