The inner wall extends axially along the axis to a distal inner wall end that is axially recessed within the swirler from the distal outer wall end. The outer passage is radially between the inner wall and the outer wall. The inner passage is radially within the inner wall. The fuel nozzle projects into the inner passage. The fuel nozzle includes a plurality of fuel outlets and a plurality of air outlets. The fuel outlets are axially aligned with the inner wall. The air outlets are axially upstream of and radially outboard of the fuel outlets.
