Instructions
Spicy Pickled Red Onions
- Slice the red onions and jalapeño and place them in a large jar or glass tupperware.
- In a saucepan or small pot, add the apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, and salt, and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt.
- Pour the hot mixture over the onions and jalapeño. Cover with lid and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Lime Crema
- In a bowl, mix together the yogurt and lime juice.
- Refrigerate until ready to use.
Salmon
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt.
- Brush the mixture over the salmon filets.
- Cook the salmon in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, or until flaky. I like to put a piece of parchment paper under the filets to make them easy to remove. The cooking time will vary slightly depending on the thickness of your salmon, but generally 10 minutes is perfect.
- Flake the salmon and then add them to tacos shells. We like to use corn tortillas. Top with pickled onions, lime cream and, fresh cilantro.
- Enjoy!
