1 Air fryer

Ingredients

2 salmon fillets 8 oz. each
¼ cup teriyaki sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil optional
1 tbsp. cornstarch for the glaze
sesame seeds and spring onions for garnish

Instructions

The recipe is super easy. If using frozen teriyaki salmon fillets thaw them. Then pat them dry so that they don’t have any moisture.
In a bowl, mix together teriyaki sauce and cornstarch along with water to form a sauce. Brush the sauce on salmon fillets and keep aside.
Microwave the remaining sauce-cornstarch slurry in microwave on high for 70 seconds to form a glaze. You can also do the same on a pan.
Preheat Pre heat air fryer at 390F for 5 mins or use preheat setting on your air fryer. Air fry at 390F for 8-10 minutes or till internal temperature of salmon is 140F to 145F. Top off with extra sauce to taste and garnish with spring onions.
Serve with steamed rice, stir fried veggies or a fresh salad. You have a tasty meal ready.

Notes

1. You can marinate salmon fillets for 15 minutes in teriyaki sauce. But, I generally cook it right away, and don't really feel a difference in taste.

2. Do not overcook the salmon. Keep an eye towards the end of cooking time. Depending upon the thickness of your fillet, the time may vary slightly.

3. You may flip the fillet midway for even cooking.

4. Avoid overcrowding. Give the fillets some space so hot air circulates well and the fish cooks evenly.

5. Storage: You can store cooked salmon in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Heat through before consuming.
