Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets about 6 ounces each
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce low sodium recommended
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch optional, for thickening
  • Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

  • Make the Teriyaki Sauce:
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. For a thicker sauce, mix in cornstarch until well combined.
  • Marinate the Salmon:
  • Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the teriyaki sauce over them. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 1 hour for more flavor).
  • Preheat the Air Fryer:
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • Cook the Salmon:
  • Lightly oil the air fryer basket. Place the marinated salmon fillets in the basket, skin-side down. Brush with additional teriyaki sauce if desired.
  • Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the fillets.
  • Garnish and Serve:
  • Once done, remove the salmon from the air fryer and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot over rice or alongside steamed vegetables.

Notes

  • Adjust the marinade ingredients according to your taste preferences—add more honey for sweetness or more ginger for spice.
