Ingredients
– 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
– 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 lime, juiced
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 avocado, diced
– 1 cup corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)
– Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to whip up your own Taco-Seasoned Salmon:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for cooking.
2. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. This helps the seasoning adhere better.
3. Season the Fillets: Combine taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Press this mixture onto the salmon fillets to ensure they are evenly coated.
4. Heat the Oil: In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
5. Sear the Salmon: Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down onto the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
6. Add Lime Juice: Squeeze lime juice over the salmon to enhance the flavors.
7. Transfer to Oven: Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
8. Prepare the Corn: While the salmon is baking, warm the corn in a small saucepan over low heat. Add a pinch of salt and lime juice for seasoning.
9. Plate the Dish: Once cooked, take the salmon out of the oven. Arrange on plates with the corn and diced avocado.
10. Garnish: Top with fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor before serving.
