Here are the ingredients you will need for this teriyaki salmon in the air fryer recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides the salmon, it’s just the ingredients for the homemade teriyaki sauce! It may look like a lot, but it’s really easy to make:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Salmon fillets<\/strong> – Fresh salmon fillets with skin that are roughly the same size and thickness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Soy sauce<\/strong> – Choose a lower sodium soy sauce to control the saltiness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Apple cider vinegar<\/strong> – Not a traditional teriyaki sauce ingredient, but usually readily available. Adds a tangy and slightly sweet taste. Use mirin and sake for a truly authentic flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Grated ginger<\/strong> – Provides a fresh, aromatic kick. Use fresh ginger for the best flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Minced garlic<\/strong> – Adds depth of flavor. Use fresh garlic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Olive oil<\/strong> – Optional; helps prevent sticking and adds a touch of richness. Not a traditional ingredient. Alternatively, you can use sesame oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Cornstarch<\/strong> – To thicken the sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Brown sugar<\/strong> – Balances the flavors in the teriyaki sauce. Alternatively, use regular granulated sugar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Black pepper<\/strong> – Adds a subtle hint of spice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Recipe Tips and Substitutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Before you tackle this air fryer salmon teriyaki recipe, have a read through these tips so that you end up with delicious results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Use fresh salmon fillets of uniform size and thickness to ensure even cooking. Keep in mind that wild salmon tends to cook slightly faster than farmed salmon due to its lower fat content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
For best results, marinate the salmon for at least 15 minutes before cooking. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
You can use store-bought teriyaki sauce instead of making your own. However, we really recommend marinating the salmon fillets before cooking for the best flavor, which is easier if you make your own sauce (you can’t really “marinate” them in the store-bought sauce and would have to make the marinade from scratch anyway).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Don’t overcrowd your air fryer. Otherwise, the salmon may not cook evenly. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
