Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 filets salmon 6-8oz each
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
Teriyaki glaze
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, sesame oil, and garlic.
- Take the cornstarch and water and whisk together.
- Start heating the mixture on a medium heat, adding the cornstarch mixture, and stir to combine.
- Heat on medium, stirring constantly for 1 minute, then reduce heat to low and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Turn off heat and let teriyaki glaze sit for 5 minutes.
- Take your salmon filets and dry with paper towels or a dish cloth. Drizzle each filet with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and rub into the surface and skin of the salmon.
- Next, place the salmon skin down on a plate or parchment paper. Apply half of the teriyaki glaze to the top and sides of the salmon.
- Place the salmon in the air fryer, skin down, leaving room between the filets so air can circulate.
- Cook at 390 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, checking frequently for doneness.
- Remove from the air fryer and top with the rest of the teriyaki glaze.
Notes
- If you don't want to make your own homemade teriyaki sauce, you can buy a premade sauce to cut down on prep time.
- Pat salmon fillets completely dry before adding oil. You don't want excess water on the salmon, or it won't cook as well.
- You do not need to preheat the air fryer to make this recipe.
