Ingredients
4 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, 2 tablespoons water, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water until smooth.
Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
Brush each salmon fillet generously with the prepared teriyaki sauce.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
Air fry the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Halfway through cooking, brush the salmon with additional teriyaki sauce for extra glaze.
Remove the salmon from the air fryer and let rest for 2 minutes.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
