The teriyaki sauce we buy contains a flavor in which the salt-sugar balance accompanies the flavor of ginger and garlic. You can prepare this sauce in less time than it takes to go to the grocery store!
Ingredients
The recipe is nutritious and healthy with all the nutrients it contains. But let's take a closer look at what these ingredients will add to the recipe.
Salmon filet: We recommend buying fresh salmon rather than store-bought frozen salmon. Make sure that the color of the salmon is vibrant. Salmon, one of the main elements of the recipe, will provide the amino acid balance your body needs. Drying your salmon with fresh paper towels is the simplest method for cleaning it. This helps in lifting and removing any salmon scales that may be visible.
Green onions: It can be added to the salmon as a side dish while serving. But this is completely optional.
Roasted sesame seeds: You can add an aromatic taste when you add it to the recipe. We recommend that you do not use it if you do not want to add it or if you are allergic to it.
Sake: It is a Japanese wine that is commonly encountered in Japanese cuisine. You can use Sake in the recipe to remove the distinctive smell of fish. If you cannot find this wine in the markets, you can choose a different wine.
Mirin: It is a thick Japanese wine that leaves a sweet taste in your mouth without the taste of alcohol. If you cannot find this ingredient, replace it with rice vinegar. However, add ½ teaspoon of white sugar for every tablespoon used to overcome the vinegar's sour taste.
Cooking Time Ranges
The cooking time of the salmon varies between 7-9 minutes, depending on the air fryer you use and the thickness you slice the salmon. First of all, you can set yourself to 7 minutes. If you think it is not cooked, you can cook for 1-2 more minutes.
Storage
To store: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Air Fryer Teriyaki Salmon Ingredients
Instructions
To prepare the sauce, mix sake, mirin, soy sauce, white sugar, cornstarch, garlic minced and ginger grated in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and allow the sauce to solidify. When the sauce thickens, immediately increase the heat.
Pour into a different container to cool completely. Chill for 5 minutes in the freezer until it reaches room temperature. Your teriyaki sauce is ready in the most practical and healthy way!
Refrigerate salmon filets in marinade for at least 15 minutes. Thus, you will notice that the salmon is tender and the flavors you add are more infused. Put the marinated salmon in the basket with the skin side down first. Spread a thin layer of teriyaki sauce on top and let it cook with teriyaki aroma.
Using a meat thermometer, air-roast the salmon at 400 °F for 7 to 9 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 °F. Bake 7 minutes for medium-rare, 9 minutes for well-done.
Optional: You will cook the salmon with the flavor of teriyaki sauce, but if you want the flavor to be more intense, you can add the remaining teriyaki sauce to the salmon. Garnish air fried salmon with green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
