Description
A quick and fresh meal featuring flaky salmon paired with a crisp limey slaw, perfect for busy weeknights or easy weekend dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Taco shells
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 lime, juiced
- Sour cream or yogurt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
- In a bowl, mix the olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over both salmon fillets.
- Place the seasoned salmon in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until flaky and cooked to your liking.
- While the salmon cooks, combine the cabbage, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl for the slaw. Season with salt and toss.
- Once the salmon is cooked, flake it gently with a fork. Assemble the tacos by placing flaked salmon into taco shells, topping with slaw, and adding sour cream or yogurt if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use room-temperature salmon for even cooking. Don’t overcrowd the air fryer. Check doneness early to avoid overcooking.
