Now, I hear football season is here, and y’all excited and stuff. If you’ve been here a while, you know I am not a football girl; I’m waiting for basketball season to start. But that doesn’t mean I am not here for all the Game Day eats! These Blackened Salmon Tacos are exactly what you need to shake things up on the next game night!
Of course, as with most of my recipes, the best part about this one is the versatility of the recipe. These blackened Salmon Tacos are very customizable and you can easily make them your own. For example, I’m making a simple cabbage slaw to pair with the blackened salmon. But you can make chunky salsa like our Watermelon Salsa. Or, you can skip the tortilla altogether and serve the blackened salmon in lettuce wraps.
Blackened Salmon Taco is perfect for taking on the go with Rubbermaid TakeAlongs Containers.
