Air-Fried Salmon Tacos

No matter how you slice it, you can’t really go wrong with tacos. If you have fresh ingredients and a tasty salsa, you’re pretty much good to go. The one kind of taco I feel iffy about is the notorious fried fish taco — beer battered white fish that is fried, then lathered in fattening aioli, topped with slaw and sandwiched in a tortilla. Now, these are delicious, but why un-healthify something that’s already so perfect and simple? Don’t get me wrong, I love the taste of fish tacos, but I never see the point in ordering them due to how heavy they are compared to the average chicken taco.

That’s why I came up with this air-fried salmon taco recipe, that’s packed with omega-3’s! You know I love my healthy fats because they are great for almost everything. So, for this recipe, I first create a chipotle corn “aioli,” which is essentially puréed corn with cashew milk and seasonings. Then, I coat my salmon with crushed tortilla chips (I chose cauliflower tortilla chips because #health, but you can choose whatever you want) and then I air-fried the salmon until it was perfectly crispy. Throw the aioli and salmon onto a sprouted corn tortilla with guacamole and salsa, and this is my fried fish taco dream without the guilt.
