Ingredients
  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, garlic, and teriyaki sauce to create the marinade.
  2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fillets. Let them marinate for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to soak in.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This step ensures that the air fryer reaches the ideal temperature for cooking the salmon quickly.
  4. Air Fry the Salmon: Place the marinated salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin-side down. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has reached your desired level of doneness.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the air fryer. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve the salmon with steamed rice or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
  6. Can I use frozen salmon fillets for this recipe?Yes, you can use frozen salmon, but make sure to thaw it completely before marinating and cooking for best results.
  7. Can I use a different type of fish?Absolutely! You can substitute salmon with other fish like tuna, cod, or tilapia. Adjust cooking times based on the type of fish.
  8. Can I skip the soy sauce for a gluten-free version?Yes, use a gluten-free soy sauce or tamari sauce to keep this recipe gluten-free.
  9. How can I make the teriyaki sauce less sweet?Reduce the honey or replace it with a less sweet option like a sugar substitute to control the sweetness of the sauce.
  10. Can I marinate the salmon overnight?Yes, marinating the salmon overnight will intensify the flavor. Just make sure to store it in the refrigerator.
  11. Can I make this recipe without an air fryer?Yes, you can bake the salmon in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork.
  12. How long can I store the leftovers?Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
  13. Can I make this recipe in a regular frying pan?Yes, you can pan-fry the salmon in a skillet with a little oil over medium heat. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
  14. Can I add vegetables to the air fryer with the salmon?Yes, vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, and bell peppers cook well in the air fryer alongside salmon.
  15. Can I use other types of honey or sweeteners?Yes, feel free to use other sweeteners like agave syrup or maple syrup, depending on your taste preferences. ​
