Delicious and easy-to-make tacos featuring crispy air fryer salmon and crunchy slaw, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
For the salmon
- 4 pieces salmon fillets (about 4 oz each), skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the slaw
- 2 cups shredded cabbage (red or green)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
For assembly
- 8 small corn tortillas
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Brush the mixture over the salmon fillets.
Cooking
- Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon cooks, prepare the slaw by combining shredded cabbage, cilantro, Greek yogurt, and lime juice in a bowl. Toss until well mixed.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
Assembly
- Flake the cooked salmon into large pieces.
- Assemble the tacos by dividing the salmon and slaw among the tortillas. Serve immediately.
Notes
These tacos are perfect on their own but can be enhanced with additional toppings such as sliced avocado, fresh lime wedges, or a drizzle of hot sauce. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
