Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillets skin removed, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas warmed
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 0.5 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 lime cut into wedges
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 avocado sliced

Method
 

  1. Pat the salmon pieces dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the salmon with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes.
  3. Place the seasoned salmon pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the salmon is crispy on the outside and cooked through.
  4. While the salmon cooks, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.
  5. Mix the sour cream or Greek yogurt with a squeeze of lime juice to make a quick crema. Prepare your shredded cabbage, cilantro, and avocado slices.
  6. Place a few pieces of crispy salmon on each warm tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, a drizzle of lime crema, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro.
  7. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos. Enjoy while the salmon is still crispy.

Notes

For extra crispy salmon, spray the pieces lightly with cooking spray before air frying. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket - cook in batches if needed to ensure even crisping. Leftover salmon can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the air fryer at 350 degrees for 3-4 minutes.
