Ingredients

  • 4 Atlantic Salmon Filets - about 5-6 oz each
  • 4 sprigs green onion, chopped - for garnish
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds - for garnish
Teriyaki Sauce:
  • 1 cup lower-sodium soy sauce - or Tamari for gluten-free
  • ¼ cup white rice vinegar
  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp minced ginger
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 ½ tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the teriyaki sauce ingredients. Whisk until all of the cornstarch and sugar is dissolved.
  • Place the salmon fillets into a large Ziploc bag and pour about half of the teriyaki sauce into the bag. Let the salmon marinate for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the air fryer basket to 400°. Once preheated, line a piece of parchment paper over the bottom of the basket.
  • Place the salmon on the parchment paper, skin side up and air fry for 6-7 minutes.
  • While the salmon is cooking, heat the remaining teriyaki sauce in a saucepan over medium heat on the stove.
  • Turn the salmon fillets to the other side and brush more teriyaki sauce over the salmon. Air fry the salmon for an additional 4 minutes, or until the minimum internal temperature reaches 145°.
  • Remove the salmon from the air fryer, glaze with additional teriyaki sauce and garnish with chopped green onion and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • If salmon is frozen, defrost first for best results.
  • For the most tender and juicy salmon, use salmon that has the skin on it. It helps to lock in the moisture and oils.

Storage Instructions

Cooked salmon filets can be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat the salmon, heat the air fryer to 360° and cook the salmon for 4-5 minutes until it has an internal temperature of 145°.
