  • 2 stalks of green onion thinly sliced for garnish
  • 2 teaspoon arrowroot starch cornstarch or tapioca flour
  • ¼ cup cold water

  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger very fine
  • 2 – 3 large garlic cloves minced
  • ½ – ⅔ cup favorite teriyaki sauce (if you do not want to make your own)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the starch slurry by mixing arrowroot starch with cold water and set it aside while drying the salmon pieces thoroughly.
  2. Whisk together the soy sauce, orange juice, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a bowl, but keep the starch slurry separate unless using bottled sauce.
  3. If time permits, toss salmon chunks in a portion of the teriyaki sauce and let them marinate for 10 to 20 minutes.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F and lightly grease the basket.
  5. Place the salmon in the basket in one layer and air fry for 4 to 6 minutes until the salmon is cooked with a slight crisp.
  6. While the salmon cooks, heat the remaining sauce in a small saucepan until boiling, reduce heat and stir in the starch slurry, simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until thickened.
  7. Remove salmon from the air fryer and coat evenly with the thickened teriyaki sauce.
  8. Serve the salmon on warm rice and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions alongside your favorite veggies.

Notes

  • Cut salmon cubes uniformly about 1 inch to ensure even cooking
  • Pat salmon dry well to promote crispness in the air fryer
  • Avoid overcooking
  • remove salmon once it reaches 140–145°F for optimal tenderness
  • Store bought teriyaki sauce can be used for convenience
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 3–4 days and reheat best in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes to maintain texture
