INSTRUCTIONS
First Dry salmon and put on a plate or in a mixing bowl.
Then Pat the seasoning onto both sides of the salmon until evenly coated.
Heat oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat.
After Add the fillets skin side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until salmon is middle done. You will see the line where it is half cooked and a paler pink shows halfway up the salmon fillet.
Flip the salmon fillets over and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through and an agreeable brown (but not quite black) crust develops. Please note: thicker fillets may need an extra few minutes to cook, and you may need to reduce the heat to prevent the salmon from burning before cooked through.

Make the sriracha mayo by adding all elements to the mixing bowl and stirring until combined
Finally, Assemble tacos by filling each tortilla with cabbage, cooked salmon, desired toppings, and the sriracha mayo.
