Ingredients
- – 4 salmon fillets (5-6 oz/140-170g each)
- – 1/2 cup (120ml) soy sauce
- – 2 tbsp (30ml) rice vinegar
- – 3 tbsp (45g) brown sugar
- – 2 cloves garlic, minced
- – 1 tsp (5g) minced ginger
- – 1/2 tsp (2.5g) black pepper
- – 3/4 tbsp (11g) cornflour/cornstarch
Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, black pepper, and cornstarch. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Transfer about 1/2 cup of the teriyaki mixture into a shallow dish, placing the salmon in it with the skin side facing up. Coat the salmon thoroughly with the marinade. Allow it to soak for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Set the Air fryer to 400°F and let it preheat. Position the salmon with the skin side facing up on parchment paper in the air fryer basket. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes until the skin turns crispy.
- In the meantime, place the remaining teriyaki mixture on the stove and cook over medium heat until it becomes thick and syrupy.
- Flip the salmon fillets so the skin side is down, and apply the teriyaki glaze over the top. Continue cooking the salmon in the air fryer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F to 145°F.
- Take the salmon out of the Air fryer. If desired, you can add more teriyaki sauce as a glaze. Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish.
Notes
- Pat the salmon fillets dry before marinating to ensure full flavor absorption.
- Adjust air fryer cooking time based on salmon fillet thickness for optimal results.
- Watch teriyaki glaze closely on the stove to prevent burning while thickening.
