Salmon Tacos with Pineapple Slaw

Salmon Tacos with Pineapple Slaw

I am mixing up taco night with this healthy and easy Salmon Tacos with Pineapple Slaw recipe.

For as fancy as these look, they are so simple and easy to make (especially the air fryer version).

Tacos are one of my family’s favorite meal, and we are also huge salmon lovers.

Combining the two into one dish sounded like a fabulous idea.

Using store bought slaw in a bag and already cut pineapple made this even easier to make on a busy weeknight.

How to Make Salmon Tacos with Pineapple Slaw

The first step is brushing a pound of salmon with sweet Thai chili sauce.

Then season with kosher salt and pepper.

Cooking the salmon comes with two choices…air fryer or oven.

If you are air frying them, place them skin side down in the air fryer basket.

And set it to 400 degrees for 12 minutes.

In the oven put them on a baking sheet and into a 400 degree oven for 12 minutes.

Thicker pieces of salmon may need a few more minutes of cooking.
