Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Simmer soy sauce, mirin, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger in a small pan. Add cornstarch slurry and stir until thickened. Set aside.
- 2
Pat salmon dry. Brush with half the teriyaki sauce.
- 3
Air fry skin-side down at 400°F for 8-10 minutes until salmon is caramelized and flakes easily.
- 4
Brush with remaining teriyaki sauce.
- 5
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve with steamed rice.
Tip: Skin-side down means the skin gets crispy while protecting the flesh from drying out. The teriyaki sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Homemade is infinitely better than bottled — the difference is night and day.
Why Air Fry This?

- 🌊Gentle, even heat cooks fish through without drying it out — no flipping required.
