How to make Air Fryer Teriyaki Salmon

Tips from the cook

  • Cook the salmon through but do not overcook it: it should flake easily and be pale pink.
  • Gently simmer the sauce so the sugars do not burn; cornstarch slurry thickens it fast.
  • Add minced garlic and ginger to the sauce for extra flavour.
