Crispy Salmon Tacos - Quick Air Fryer Recipe with Slaw
Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets (about ½ pound total)
- 4 tortillas of your choice
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon paprika
- Sliced avocado
- Fresh slaw
- Hot sauce
- Sliced jalapeños
Directions
- Prep the salmon: Use paper towels to pat the salmon dry — this step is key for getting that crispy, golden finish.
- Oil it up: Brush or drizzle a little avocado or olive oil over the top of each fillet.
- Season like a pro: Mix all the spices together, then sprinkle evenly over the salmon for that perfect flavor balance.
- Air fry: Pop the fillets into your air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for about 8 minutes. Don’t crowd them — they need a bit of space to crisp up properly.
- Get your fixings ready: While the salmon cooks, warm up your tortillas and prep your toppings. Slice the avocado, toss your slaw, and get those jalapeños ready to roll.
- Build your tacos: Flake the salmon into chunks and layer it on the tortillas with slaw, avocado, jalapeños, and a drizzle of hot sauce.
