Crispy Salmon Tacos

76

Still trying to wrap my head around how yummy yet good-for-you these are. A titanic combination of spicy, tangy and creamy. The salmon is cooked to crispy perfection in a matter of minutes and the slaw and guac are the ideal accompaniments. And we are leaving out the usual taco fixins of cheese, sour cream, etc. without giving in on taste.

method:

For the salmon the process and ingredients are so so simple. I am loving the crispy salmon recipes so much so we have been applying them to some of our favorite meals. The beauty of this recipe is you can pan fry them or AIR FRY them and you will get the same crispy result.

slaw + Avocado mash:

These tacos are nothing without the simple cabbage slaw and too easy avocado mash. Make sure you make the slaw at the beginning of the process so it has time to marinate and break down in the fridge. You will love this recipe – I promise!
