Ingredients

  • 4 (4-ounce) salmon filets about 1 pound
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste or grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • chopped green onion and sesame seeds for garnish optional

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce, ¼ cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon ginger paste. Heat over medium-high heat and bring it to a simmer.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch, then add it to the saucepan. Whisk the sauce constantly until it starts to thicken. Remove it from the heat and reserve half of the sauce for serving.
  • Lightly spray the inside of the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Pat 4 (4-ounce) salmon filets dry with a paper towel, then place them skin-side down in the basket.
  • Brush the teriyaki sauce on each filet. Cook at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for 7-10 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit, and the salmon should flake easily with a fork.
  • Brush the reserved teriyaki sauce on the filets before serving, and top with chopped green onion and sesame seeds for garnish.

Notes

Storage & Reheating
  • Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat: Brush with a little extra teriyaki sauce, then warm in the microwave until heated through. Or reheat in the air fryer at 350ºF until hot.
