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.
- 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!
