This air fryer teriyaki salmon cooks in less than 10 minutes, making it the perfect weeknight meal.
We have been loving experimenting using our air fryer for making quick and easy meals. My only regret with buying an air fryer is wishing we had purchased a bigger one- it makes meals so quick and easy, like this flavor-packed air fryer salmon.
Tips for using the air fryer:
Dry your food well- this will prevent excess steam from forming, preventing browning.
Though typically designed to be nonstick, you still want to spray your air fryer with cooking spray (I use Chosen Foods Avocado Oil Spray)
Don’t overcrowd! Just like with roasting, over-crowding will prevent browning. Don’t overcrowd for the crispiest result!
Shake halfway. Most air fryers will prompt you to shake or flip your food halfway- though this is typically recommended for best browning (like with air fryer vegetables)- follow recipe instructions.
