2 Tbsp. Fresh Thyme honey
½ tsp. Fresh Thyme fine sea salt
1½ tsp. Fresh Thyme chipotle pepper
Fresh Thyme avocado cooking oil spray
8 (5¼ in.) yellow corn tortillas
1 lime
1 cup cucumber
1 avocado
1 jalapeño
2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro
Directions

TACOS 

1 (1¼ lb.) fresh Atlantic salmon fillet, skin removed 

1 Tbsp. Fresh Thyme avocado oil 

2 Tbsp. Fresh Thyme honey, divided 

½ tsp. Fresh Thyme fine sea salt, divided; plus more to taste 

1½ tsp. Fresh Thyme chipotle pepper 

Fresh Thyme avocado cooking oil spray 

8 (5¼ in.) yellow corn tortillas 

 

AVOCADO SALSA 

1 lime, plus more for serving 

1 cup chopped English cucumber 

1 avocado, peeled, seeded, and chopped 

1 jalapeño, thinly sliced* 

2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish 

  1. Pat salmon dry. Cut into ¾-inch cubes and place in a medium bowl. Drizzle with avocado oil and 1 Tbsp. honey; sprinkle with ¼ tsp. salt and chipotle pepper. Gently stir until well coated; set aside.
  2. For avocado salsa, in a separate medium bowl, zest and juice 1 lime; whisk in remaining 1 Tbsp. honey and remaining ¼ tsp. salt. Gently stir in cucumber, avocado, jalapeño, and 2 Tbsp. cilantro; cover and set aside.
  3. Preheat an 8-qt. air fryer to 400°F. Spray air-fryer basket with cooking oil spray. Place salmon cubes in a single layer in the basket. Air fry for 7 to 8 minutes or until salmon is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, shaking the basket gently halfway through.
  4. To warm tortillas, wrap in foil and place in a 400°F oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Or use metal tongs to hold each tortilla over the flame of a gas stove for a few seconds or until lightly charred.
  5. Remove salmon from air fryer and place on a large serving platter. Place tortillas on platter. Garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges, if desired. Serve with avocado salsa.
