For the mango salsa (you can also use store bought):
- 1 small or 1/2 medium red onion, diced

Instructions
To make the salmon:
- Preheat the air fryer to 400F for 3-5 minutes while you prep the salmon.
- Add the diced salmon to a bowl with the oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
- Lay the salmon in the air fryer basket in an even layer. Cook for about 8-12 minutes until the edges are super crispy and the internal temperature of the salmon reaches at leas 145F.
- Assemble your tacos with the salsa, sauce and any desired toppings, like shredded cabbage or lettuce.
To make the sauce:
- Mix together all of the sauce ingredients in a small food processor, blender or with an immersion blender until just combined.
- Set aside or store in an airtight container or jar with a lid in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the tacos.
To make the mango salsa:
- Add the diced onion to a bowl with the lime juice and salt and allow it to sit while you chop the rest of your ingredients.
- Mix in the mango, tomatoes, jalapeño and cilantro.
- Set aside for at least 10-15 minutes before assembling the tacos to let the flavors meld or place it in an airtight container or jar with a lid in the fridge until you’re ready to eat.
