Ingredients
- – 1 lb Salmon Filet (454 g)
- – 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil (15 ml)
- – 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce (15 ml)
- – 1/2 teaspoon ground Pepper (2.5 ml)
- – 2 Tablespoons Teriyaki Sauce (store bought) (30 ml)
- – 1/2 Tablespoon Honey (7.5 ml)
- – 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder (2.5 ml)
- – sesame seeds as garnish (optional)
- – 3 Tablespoons (45 ml) chopped green onion as garnish (optional)
- – 1/2 cup homemade Honey Teriyaki Sauce (120 ml)
- – 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (2.5 ml)
- – 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (2.5 ml)
Instructions
- Use a sharp, flexible knife to carefully detach the skin from the salmon filet. Cut the salmon into cubes roughly one inch in size and set them aside.
- If you’re using store-bought Teriyaki Sauce, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, ground pepper, honey, and garlic powder with the teriyaki sauce in a small bowl. If opting for homemade Honey Teriyaki Sauce, blend half a cup of it with the olive oil and half a teaspoon of black pepper. TIP: Consider doubling the sauce to use as a dip or to drizzle over the salmon.
- With a brush, thoroughly coat the salmon pieces with the teriyaki mixture.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and place the salmon pieces in the basket, making sure they do not touch each other.
- Air fry for 5 to 7 minutes until you achieve your desired level of doneness, flipping the salmon pieces halfway through cooking.
- For those who prefer their salmon rare, the internal temperature should be between 110°F and 115°F (not recommended). Medium rare will range from 115°F to 120°F, while anything above 145°F might result in the salmon being dry. Most people find the ideal internal temperature for cooked salmon to be between 120°F and 125°F, or Medium.
- Serve hot, optionally decorated with sesame seeds.
Notes
- Marinate salmon in teriyaki mixture for 30 minutes before air frying for a richer flavor.
- Adjust honey in teriyaki sauce to taste for desired sweetness.
- Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh burst of flavor.
