Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer
  • parchment paper
  • foil

Ingredients

  • 3/4 lb salmon filet
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey

Optional garnish

  • green onion
  • sesame seeds

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine soy sauce and honey to create a quick teriyaki glaze. If it does not mix well together, place it in the microwave for 15 seconds and mix.
  • Line the air fryer basket with foil big enough to cover the salmon. This is to prevent the sauce from burning and for easy clean up.
  • The line with parchment paper. This is to prevent the salmon to sticking on the foil.
  • Place the glazed salmon fillets in the basket, skin-side down.
  • Pour the teriyaki sauce over the salmon.
  • Cover the salmon with foil.
  • Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, depending on thickness.
    Tip: Cover loosely with foil if you're using a sugary glaze to prevent burning. Uncover in the last 1–2 minutes for light caramelization.
  • The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  • Remove salmon carefully and spoon any remaining glaze over the top.
  • Optional: Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds.
  • Serve with steamed rice, salad, or veggies. Enjoy!
