Ingredients:
For the salmon:
~1 lb salmon filet
3 Tbsp Bachan's Japanese Barbecue Sauce
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
For the cucumber salad slaw:
1/2 English cucumber, diced
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 tsp salt

1 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp minced garlic

Recipe:
For the salmon:
Mix Bachan's Japanese BBQ sauce with rice vinegar in a shallow Tupperware container or large Ziploc bag.
Remove skin from salmon and chop into ~1 inch cubes.
Place cubed salmon into marinade, seal, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours.
When ready to cook/make the tacos, blot salmon with a paper towel to remove excess liquid. Air fry at 400 degrees F for ~7-10 minutes, until salmon easily flakes with a fork.
For the cucumber salad slaw:
Place cucumber slices into a medium-sized bowl. Sprinkle with salt, toss, cover, and let sit for ~10 minutes.
Strain any liquid from the cucumber bowl. Add cabbage and remaining ingredients. Toss until fully coated and set aside.
For the taco assembly:
In a warm tortilla, place a handful of cucumber salad slaw, a handful of salmon cubes, a few slices of avocado, a sprinkle of green onion, a drizzle of sweet chili sauce, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Nutrition:
Salmon: salmon is full of healthy fats, selenium, B vitamins, niacin, pantothenic acid, thiamin, and phosphorus. These all contribute to a healthy body! The essential omega-3 fatty acids in salmon are super anti-inflammatory and extremely heart healthy, as well. Salmon is an awesome high-quality protein source!
Cucumber: cucumbers are packed with vitamin K, which is essential for blood clotting and bone health! They're also a great source of fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B, copper, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and water for hydration!
Cabbage: cabbage is high in dietary fiber, vitamin K (needed for blood clotting), vitamin C (great for immunity), and folate (awesome for cell division + preventing anemia)!
Avocado: HEART HEALTHY FATS!! Avocado contains lots of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (MUFAs and PUFAs), which reduce cholesterol and triglycerides.
