Air Fryer Teriyaki Salmon

Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 garlic clove, grated
• ½ tsp grated ginger (optional)
• 1 tsp oil

Steps

1. Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towel so the marinade actually clings to the flesh instead of sliding off.
2. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, grated garlic and grated ginger.
3. Place the salmon in a shallow dish, pour over the marinade, and turn to coat both sides.
4. Marinate for 10–15 min at most — any longer and the soy sauce can start to firm up the flesh.
5. Lightly oil the air fryer basket and preheat the air fryer to 200°C.
6. Lay the fillets skin-side down in the basket, reserving any leftover marinade in the dish.
7. Air fry for 8–10 min with no need to flip, until the flesh flakes easily with a fork and the centre has turned from translucent to an even opaque pink.
8. Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade into a small pan and simmer briefly to cook off the raw fish residue, until slightly thickened.
9. Spoon the warmed marinade over the cooked salmon and let it rest for a minute so the juices settle instead of running out the moment you cut in.

Tip: Any firm fish works here if you can’t get salmon.
