Process of making blackened salmon tacos


Directions:

  1. Take the “crema” by adding all the ingredients to a blender and blending until smooth and creamy. Add water if you want to make the sauce thinner.
  2. Slice your salmon into one inch cubed pieces. Add to a baking sheet and drizzle with avocado oil and season with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and salt and pepper. Toss and make sure each piece is coated. Add to the air fryer and cook for 15 minutes at 350℉.
  3. Make the cabbage slaw by tossing all ingredients together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
