Description
Delicious and easy air fryer teriyaki salmon, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound salmon fillet (boneless and skinless, cut into 1 to 1½-inch cubes)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)
- ½ cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- Dry the salmon: Lay paper towels on a plate, place the salmon cubes on top, and gently pat dry to remove as much moisture as possible.
- Season: Discard the paper towels. Drizzle the salmon with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the salmon and toss again until each piece is lightly coated.
- Air fry (first cook): Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Arrange the salmon in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Make the glaze: While the salmon cooks, warm the teriyaki sauce in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the honey (or brown sugar) and grated ginger until combined.
- Glaze the salmon: Brush the salmon with the glaze, flip the pieces, and brush the other side.
- Finish cooking: Air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until crispy and cooked through (internal temperature 125-135°F for medium, or 145°F for well done).
- Serve: Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and extra teriyaki sauce, if desired. Serve over white rice.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the salmon in teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences.
