Air Fryer Teriyaki Salmon - Air Fryer Recipes

Ingredients

4 salmon filets, (4-6 ounces each)
1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
spray oil
freshly ground black pepper
toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
chopped green onions, for garnish

Directions

Pat the salmon filets dry with a paper towel.

In a small saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder and ginger powder. Mix until the sugar is incorporated. Remove half of the marinade (about ¼ cup) and pour into a shallow dish. Place filets flesh side down in the dish and let sit for up to 30 minutes to marinade, if time allows.

While salmon is marinating, add the cornstarch and water to the saucepan and cook over medium high heat, stirring frequently until thick and bubbly, about 4-5 minutes. This will make about ¼ cup of sauce to use for a glaze and for drizzling.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Spray the basket with oil. Place filets in the basket and discard the marinade. Season filets with pepper, and a light spray of oil.

Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until your desired doneness. During the last 2 minutes, baste filets with the teriyaki sauce two or three times. Salmon is done when the internal temperature reaches 145°F or to your desired doneness.

Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, and drizzle with extra sauce.
