Pat the salmon dry with paper towels, then cut it into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. If it has skin on it, use a sharp knife to gently slice the skin off before dicing it into pieces.
1 pound salmon
Add the salmon to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle on the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and thyme, then gently toss until the salmon is evenly coated.
1 tbsp olive oil, 2 teaspoons cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon thyme
Arrange the marinated salmon pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F for 7 minutes, flipping the bites halfway through to ensure even cooking.
If you’re using corn tortillas, lightly fry them in hot oil until crispy to make tostadas. If you prefer something a little simpler, just warm the tortillas and turn this into salmon tacos instead.
8 tostada shells or corn tortillas
To assemble, layer sliced cabbage onto each tostada, then top with the salmon bites and pickled onions. Finish with a generous drizzle of cilantro ranch dressing, then serve and enjoy!
