Instructions
- First, cut your salmon into about 1" cubes. You can also remove the skin if you prefer. I find it easier to do that after cutting them into cubes.1 lb atlantic salmon
- Add the cubed salmon to a medium-sized bowl and then add avocado oil, honey, lime juice and spices. Toss until each piece of salmon is coated.1 tbsp avocado oil, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp lime juice, zest from ½ lime, ½ tsp chili powder, ½ tsp kosher salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, ¼ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp paprika
- Place salmon onto air fryer tray or basket. Transfer to the air fryer and cook for about 5-6 minutes, until done through.
- While the salmon is cooking, add all peach and pepper salsa ingredients to a medium-sized bowl and stir until combined. Taste and adjust the amount of salt and lime juice to your preference.1 small red bell pepper, 1 ripe peach, ½ medium avocado, ¼ cup diced red onion, 3 tbsp chopped cilantro, juice from ½ lime, kosher salt
- Warm up your corn tortillas on an open flame, on a pan, in the microwave or even in the air fryer. Then, assemble your tacos, starting with some of the chili lime salmon bites and finishing with the peach and pepper salsa. Optionally, drizzle on some chipotle mayo.

Notes
*NOTE: I prefer to use a thick, center cut piece of atlantic salmon to ensure that the bite sized pieces don't cook too quickly. I wouldn't recommend sockeye salmon for this specific recipe. You can also find pre-cubed salmon at some grocery stores, including Whole Foods, but you may have to cut them down a bit more to get to 1" pieces.
