Ingredients

  • skinless salmon fillets
  • corn or flour tortillas
  • green cabbage
  • red cabbage
  • carrots
  • radishes (optional)
  • bell peppers (optional)
  • cumin
  • paprika
  • garlic powder
  • salt
  • pepper
  • vegan sour cream or yogurt (non-dairy alternative)
  • cilantro
  • parsley (optional)
  • green onions (optional)
  • freshly squeezed lime juice
  • olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Start by patting the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a nice crisp in the air fryer. Season both sides generously with your chosen spices and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Air Fry the Salmon: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the seasoned salmon in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is flaky and cooked through. Timing may vary based on the thickness of your fillets.
  3. Make the Slaw: While the salmon is cooking, prepare the slaw. In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, and any additional veggies you desire. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Pour this dressing over the slaw and toss to combine.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: If you prefer warm tortillas, heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in foil and place them in the air fryer for the last few minutes of salmon cooking.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: Once the salmon is ready, flake it into bite-sized pieces. Place a few pieces of salmon on each tortilla, top with the slaw, and finish with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lime juice.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your air fryer salmon tacos immediately while they’re fresh and warm. They’re perfect for a casual lunch or dinner!

Keywords: For extra flavor, marinate the salmon for 30 minutes before seasoning and air frying. Experiment with different ingredients in your slaw, and consider adding toppings like avocado slices or a drizzle of hot sauce.
