Easy air fryer salmon teriyaki recipe

Step 1

Get a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, mirin, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic powder. Put it to one side, and then get your salmon fillets ready.

Step 2

Brush the teriyaki sauce generously over the salmon fillets using a small brush. I like to do this a few times to make sure all the salmon flesh is covered in the sauce.

Step 3

Spray your air fryer basket with some cooking spray (to stop the salmon fillets from sticking). Then preheat your air fryer to 180°c (375°F).

Step 4

Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin side down, giving them enough room to air fry without them touching.

Step 5

Air fry for around 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your salmon. I prefer my salmon to be on the medium, medium rare side - so that it's really flaky and melt in your mouth delicious. But if you're unsure, cooking salmon until it has an internal temperature of around 63°c (145°F).

Step 6

During cooking, get your teriyaki marinade and continue to brush more sauce over the salmon fillets. I do this around 2-3 times while the salmon is cooking. Doing this allows the sauce to caramelise slightly for a deeper teriyaki flavour.

Step 7

While the salmon cooks for the last few minutes, heat up the quick homemade sauce in a small saucepan. Keep stirring the sauce as it begins to bubble and caramelise even further. Keep on a low heat, while you serve up your easy air fryer teriyaki salmon.

Step 8

Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and serve on plates with jasmine rice and green vegetables.

Step 9

Pour the heated teriyaki sauce over the salmon, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and finely chopped spring onions/green onions. Enjoy.
