Description

A quick and thoughtful meal featuring flaky salmon with a bright slaw, all prepared in an air fryer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 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
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage (red or green)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 8 small corn tortillas

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt.
  4. Brush the mixture over the salmon fillets evenly.
  5. Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  6. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. While the salmon cooks, prepare the slaw by combining shredded cabbage, cilantro, Greek yogurt, and lime juice in a bowl and toss until well mixed.
  8. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
  9. Flake the cooked salmon into large pieces.
  10. Assemble the tacos by dividing the salmon and slaw among the tortillas and serve immediately.

Notes

Leftovers keep well for a day or two when stored thoughtfully. Keep the slaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and store the cooked salmon separately. Reheat gently to maintain moisture.
