This Easy Air Fryer Teriyaki Salmon can be made in just 8 minutes in the air fryer for a healthy and delicious meal that has just 2-3 ingredients.
If you’re looking for healthy meals to make in the air fryer, salmon is a great choice. Fresh or frozen salmon both cook up quickly. You can cook air fry salmon with just salt, or add your favorite teriyaki sauce to boost the flavor. We also like to cook this teriyaki chicken in the air fryer. Throw some veggies into the air fryer to cook at the same time, for a complete meal.
While the air fryer was touted as a replacement for a deep fryer in the beginning, we’ve definitely come around to understanding that its so much more than that. You can cook all kinds of healthy meals in the air fryer – really anything you would have cooked in your oven can be made in the air fryer. Salmon and other healthy fish is a great way to use an air fryer to make super healthy meals.

Ingredients You Need
- Salmon filets – I usually cook 6 oz filets with the skin on or off. You can choose any size you want. They will all cook at about the same rate. For this recipe, I cooked 2 filets, but you can cook as many as can fit into your air fryer.
- Teriyaki sauce – I find teriyaki sauce to be a personal preference, so go with whatever brand you like most. My preferred brand is Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki Marinade and Sauce.
- Veggies – It’s optional to add veggies to the basket. If you’re only wanting to make the salmon, that’s fine too. You can either cut up your own veggies or use a pre-packaged bag of stir fry veggies.
- Cooking oil spray – The spray is to keep the salmon from sticking to the bottom of the air fryer basket. You’ll also want to spray the veggies, if you’re adding them.
Equipment Information
- Air fryer: I use this 4-quart basket-style air fryer. It’s large enough to fit 2 Chicken Kiev pieces. Give each piece of chicken Kiev enough space in the air fryer basket, so they cook evenly.
- Kitchen tongs: It’s very easy to remove food from your air fryer with kitchen tongs. I use these kitchen tongs that are silicon coated so they don’t scratch the interior.
- Parchment paper: I use this parchment paper rounds that fit perfectly into my air fryer basket. They come in squares and basket too.
- Meat thermometer: The only way to tell if meat is fully cooked to the right temperature is to use a meat thermometer. I use this Instant Read thermometer. It’s so quick to open the basket and check the temp.
Helpful Tips
- Glaze the salmon with the remaining teriyaki sauce, if you prefer. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with the roasted veggies.
- To make sure the salmon cooks evenly, buy filets that are about the same size and thickness. If you have to cook filets that are dissimilar in size, you may need to remove smaller ones before thicker one.
- While you can cook as many filets at one time as will fit in your basket, it’s best not to overcrowd them, so that air can circulate on all sides of each piece. This will result in the best salmon.

Instructions
- Coat the salmon filets with half the teriyaki sauce. Allow them to marinate for 10-15 minutes while the salmon comes up to room temperature.
