Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the spice rub.
  2. Place salmon chunks in a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the salmon and toss until evenly coated.
  3. In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth to create the dressing.
  4. Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, red onion, and cilantro to the dressing. Toss well until everything is lightly coated. Set aside to marinate.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  6. Arrange the seasoned salmon pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring there is space between them. Work in batches if necessary.
  7. Air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through (at the 5-minute mark), until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
  8. While the salmon rests briefly, warm the corn tortillas in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 30 seconds, or char them briefly over an open flame.
  9. Assemble the Air Fryer Salmon Tacos: Divide the warm tortillas onto plates. Top each with a generous spoonful of the zesty slaw, followed by 3–4 pieces of crispy salmon.
  10. Garnish with sliced avocado and serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
