This is for Kelsey, but also anyone that wants to try it out. Kelsey- we like stuff pretty spicy, so we always add more peppers. If you follow the recipe it isn't super spicy, but probably too spicy for Rory...maybe taste some of the chipotle pepper to feel it out. Suzi- these are the really good tacos I've mentioned. If you can find chipotle peppers in adobo sauce that don't have wheat in it, everything else is gluten free.
You'll need this blackening spice, which is REALLY good and works for chicken too...if you don't want to make it you can use whatever you like to use to season salmon.
Blackening Spice
2 Tbs kosher salt
2 Tbs sugar
1 Tbs pepper
1 Tbs plus 1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 Tbs paprika
1 Tbs dried thyme
1 Tbs dried organo
Just put it all it a ziploc bag and mix it up. Lasts 6 months according to the recipe or 2 years if you don't care like me. ha!
Chipotle Sauce
1 cup mayo (we use non fat, its just as good)
3 Tbs sour cream
2 minced canned chipotle chlies in adobo sauce (sold in a can in the mexican section of regular grocery stores)
2 Tbs minced cilantro
1/4 tsp kosher salt
Mix it all up, lasts 3 days in fridge
Rest of the tacos
About 1 1/2 lbs salmon (this amount is for two tacos for six people)
1/4 cup blackening spice
12 corn tortillas
8oz finely shredded cabbage
3 green onions including green tops, diced up
3 Tbs lime juice
2 ripe tomatoes, diced.
Chipotle Sauce
***This particular recipe had a ridiculously complicated way of cooking salmon. Here is what we do:
preheat oven to 450 degrees
Put blackening spice on salmon, put salmon on a piece of foil, put salmon in the oven for 15 minutes. This almost always cooks the fish perfectly. Check to make sure the fish is flakey and opaque.
In a medium serving bowl, toss together cabbage, green onions and lime juice.
If you like your tortillas warm, warm the tortillas in the oven for about 8-10 minutes while you're cooking the salmon.
Assemble tacos with salmon, cabbage, tomatoes, and chipotle sauce.
