Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon fillets (4 pieces)
  • ½ Cup soy sauce
  • ½ Cup Water
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 inch ginger (fresh)
  • 2 tablespoon Honey
  • 2 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 1 Teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 1 scallion (thinly sliced (for garnish))

Instructions
 

Making the Teriyaki Sauce:

  • In a saucepan, mix the soy sauce, ¾ of the water, garlic, ginger, honey, and brown sugar.
  • Heat the saucepan on medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with the remaining ¼ water to make a slurry (thick mixture).
  • Pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan and continue stirring until the sauce becomes thick and glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove the teriyaki sauce from heat and let it cool down.

Marinating the Salmon:

  • Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
  • Pour the cooled teriyaki sauce over the salmon, making sure it's evenly coated.
  • Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (up to 1 hour) to marinate.

Air Frying the Salmon:

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400.
  • Take the marinated salmon out of the fridge and place it in an air fryer-safe dish.
  • Air fry the salmon for about 12 minutes, or until it's cooked through and flaky.
  • During the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, brush the reserved teriyaki sauce over the salmon if you want a caramelized glaze.

Serving:

  • Carefully remove the cooked salmon from the air fryer.
  • Sprinkle sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallions over the salmon.
  • Serve the teriyaki salmon hot, over steamed rice or with your favorite side dishes.
