Why Salmon Quesadillas? Salmon quesadillas are a delicious twist on a classic dish. The flaky texture of the salmon pairs perfectly with the melty, creamy cheese. Plus, salmon is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, making this a healthier option than your typical quesadilla. So, next time you have some salmon on hand, give this recipe a try. It’s sure to make a splash at your dinner table

Ingredients
    • 1 small fillet of salmon (or leftover salmon), flaked approximately 1/2-3/4 cup)
    • Sprinkle of salt, pepper, cumin, granulated garlic and chipotle seasoning
    • 2 large flour tortillas
    • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack work well)
    • 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
    • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • Optional: fresh cilantro, lime wedges, sour cream, guacamole, salsa for serving
Instructions
  1. Place salmon filet in air fryer. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with a sprinkling of salt, pepper, cumin, granulated garlic and chipotle seasoning.
  2. Air fry at 415F for 9 minutes.
  3. Take out of Air Fryer and set aside until slightly cooled. When cooled enough to handle, flake up and set aside.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Cook until caramelized, about 15 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Place one tortilla in the skillet on low/medium. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the tortilla. Top with half the cooked salmon, sautéed onions and bell peppers. Flip one half over and continue sautéing until golden brown and cheese is melty.
  6. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat with second tortilla.
  7. Cut into wedges and serve with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, sour cream, guacamole or salsa, if desired.
