Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup teriyaki sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon finely minced ginger
  • 4 salmon fillets 6 ounces each
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions
 

  • Add teriyaki sauce, garlic, and ginger to a bowl. Mix to combine.
  • Lay salmon filets in a shallow dish or zip top bag. Pour half of the teriyaki marinade over the salmon. Place in the refrigerator and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to over night.
  • Preheat in the air fryer to 400F. Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • Remove salmon from the marinade and place in the air fryer being sure to shake off the excess marinade. Cook for 7-10 minutes or until an internal temperature of at least 125F.
  • While the salmon is cooking, pour the remainder of the teriyaki sauce into a saucepan over medium high heat. 
  • Add water and cornstarch to a small bowl. Mix to combine. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the teriyaki sauce and cook until thickened or about 3-5 minutes.
  • Transfer fish to a platter and glaze with teriyaki sauce. Optionally top with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. ENJOY!

Notes

  • Salmon shrinks in the air fryer, so make sure you start with a good portion for each person for this teriyaki salmon air fryer recipe.
  • Save some extra teriyaki sauce for adding at the table.
  • Preheat your air fryer - always - so that you’ve got the most accurate cooking times and temps.
  • All air fryers are different - use a digital meat thermometer and pull the salmon out when it hits about 125F.
