Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 lbs. fresh salmon filets, thawed

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 2/3 cup coconut aminos
  • 1/4 cup light pancake syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 Tbsp. fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2-1 tsp. arrowroot powder (at the end)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the air fryer.
  • While the air fryer heats, prep your salmon filets by patting dry and cutting into serving sizes as desired. For this recipe I am cutting into 4 - 4 oz. filets. Place the filets skin side up, flesh side down, in a dish to marinate.
  • Whisk all the teriyaki sauce ingredients, except the arrowroot powder, in a bowl. Pour half the sauce on top of the salmon and marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  • Line the air fryer pan with foil, drizzle with olive oil or non stick spray so they fish does not stick to the bottom.
  • Air fry the filets at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes. When the salmon easily flakes with a fork or the internal temperature reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit with a meat thermometer the salmon is done. The time will vary depending on your air fryer and thickness of filets.
  • While the fish is cooking in the air fryer pour the remaining sauce to a sauce pan and heat. Add 1/2 tsp. of arrowroot powder and stir well to thicken. Add additional 1/2 tsp. as needed to thicken into a sticky teriyaki sauce.
  • Remove the fish from the air fryer, top with sauce, chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds and enjoy your easy air fryer teriyaki salmon.

Notes

  • Always try to find fresh salmon as opposed to farm.
  • Fresh salmon should be light pink. Never choose salmon that is grey, dull or brown. 
  • You can remove the skin but don't have to. I like to leave the skin on and remove it once cooked. 
  • Salmon is ready when it's no longer milky inside and flakes easily with a fork.
