Honestly, air fryer salmon has had me in a chokehold for years now lol. I still continue to make it every single week in my kitchen.
My weeks are super busy -so usually I am not in the mood to make sauces from scratch or do anything that is super time consuming.
Sometimes you just want dinner to be quick, good, and low-stress—but still feel like you did something a little special. That’s exactly why I love making my Easy Air Fryer Teriyaki Salmon.
No need to make sauce from scratch if you don’t want to. Chile, just grab your favorite store-bought teriyaki sauce (I like Kinder’s because it’s lower sodium than other brands) and let the air fryer do its thing.
The result? Salmon that has crispy edges, tender inside, and a tasty glaze that feels like you put in way more work than you actually did.
As always, if you make this recipe let me know what you think!
Glamm Kitchen Tips
- Make sure your salmon is washed and pat dry before you season it (totally optional, but just know I am in the I wash my meat ministries)
- Make sure you preheat your air fryer (if you don’t you will need to probably extend the cook time)
- Fun fact about me-I don’t really care for end pieces of the salmon filet so I either purchase the long filet and cut the center pieces myself or ask my seafood counter person for center cut salmon
- Line your air fryer basket with foil (to ensure the sauce doesn’t leak into your air fryer)
