Ingredients

1.25 pounds salmon
1/2 cup bbq sauce divided
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 medium avocado
8-12 small tortillas I used almond flour

Greek Yogurt Slaw

1/2 cup greek yogurt or dairy free yogurt
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 small head cabbage about 3-4 cups shredded cabbage

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425F.
Place salmon (skin side down) on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle salmon with salt and garlic powder then pour 2 tablespoons of bbq sauce over. Use the back of a spoon to push the bbq sauce around, fully coating the salmon.
Bake salmon in 425F oven for 12 minutes.
While salmon is baking, make the slaw. Combine greek yogurt, salt, garlic powder in a large bowl. Whisk well to combine.
Thinly shred the cabbage (or take a shortcut and use bagged slaw mix). Add cabbage to bowl with yogurt dressing and toss well with tongs until fully coated.
When salmon is done baking, take out of the oven and pour 1/4 cup of bbq over top. Flake salmon with fork.
Assemble the tacos adding slaw, bbq salmon, and avocado to tacos. Drizzle remaining bbq sauce over the top.

Notes

Tips:

If you don't want to use greek yogurt in the slaw, you can use mayo.
To make your tortillas more pliable, put them in the oven for 1-2 minutes.
Make sure you really love the flavor of the bbq sauce you are using, it's really the main flavor. I love Organicville BBQ sauce.

Don't want to turn on the oven? Use the air fryer!

Cook the salmon in the air fryer, be sure to add the bbq sauce to the salmon before cooking. You could also make air fryer salmon bites, which cook in just 6 minutes if you are short on time!
