Instructions

MAKE THE SLAW:

In a blender, mini food processor or magic bullet; measure and add the avocados, garlic, cilantro, zest and juice of 2 limes, avocado oil and salt.
Process until smooth, adding a few splashes of water to thin out slightly.
Add broccoli slaw into a bowl, add dressing and use tongs to toss until coated.

MAKE THE SALMON:

Preheat air fryer to 390° or 400℉ (or 200℃) depending on make and model. (see notes for oven preparation)
Brush the salmon with oil and season the top and sides with the blackened seasoning.
Air fry for 10 minutes or until fully cooked. Let rest while you quickly warm up the tortillas in a skillet.
Fill warm corn tortillas with flaked blackened salmon and top with avocado broccoli slaw, cheese, sliced jalapeños and torn cilantro. Squeeze a little lime juice over top.

Notes

DON’T HAVE AN AIR FRYER? NO PROBLEM!

You can cook the salmon in a preheated 400° oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until opaque and fish flakes easily.
