    🥘 Ingredients

    Ingredients

    Salmon Fillets: fresh or frozen, just remember to remove the skin

    Low Sodium Soy Sauce: needs to be low sodium, otherwise the sauce will be too salty

    Rice Vinegar: rice vinegar is sweeter and milder vinegar

    Brown Sugar: helps to balance the soy sauce and vinegar and will also caramelize the salmon

    Garlic and Ginger: classic teriyaki flavors

    Black Pepper: adds a little spice

    Cornstarch: helps to thicken up the teriyaki sauce

    🔪 How to Make Teriyaki Salmon Bites

    how to make Air Fryer Teriyaki Salmon Bites

    1. Make Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, black pepper, and cornstarch.

    2. Cut Salmon: Pat salmon dry with a paper towel. Cut the skin off the filet, then cut the salmon into 2-inch cubes.

    3. Marinate Salmon: Place the salmon in a small bowl with ½ of the marinade. Gently toss until the salmon is coated in the marinated. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes.

    4. Cook Salmon: Pre-heat your air fryer to 400F. Place the marinated salmon in the air fryer basket, leaving space in between each piece. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until the edges of each cube start to brown.

    5. Make Teriyaki Sauce: While the salmon is cooking, add your remaining marinade to a small skillet over medium heat. Stir occasionally. Cook for 5 minutes, or until it starts to thicken. Then remove it from the heat.

    6. Make Bowls: To assemble the bowls, add 1 cup of rice, ½ cup of broccoli, and ¼ of the salmon bites. Top the salmon with teriyaki sauce, sliced green onions, and sesame seeds.

    Directions for the oven

    • Preheat your oven to 375F. Follow steps 1-3 in the recipe card below.
    • Skip steps 4 and 5. Spray a large sheet pan with non-stick spray. Add your marinated salmon to a sheet pan and bake for 5-7 minutes.
    • Continue with steps 6-7.

    🥗 What to eat with your Salmon Bites

    • Add them to a bowl of rice with veggies.
    • Throw them in a wrap with sticks of carrots, zucchini, peppers, and scallions.
    • Toss them into a salad. There are a ton of teriyaki salad kits you can add the salmon to.

    👩‍🍳Tips & Tricks

    • Make sure you use low sodium soy sauce, if you use regular soy sauce the salmon will be way too salty
    • Every air fryer is different, cook times will vary. Check the salmon every few minutes the first time you make this. You'll want the salmon to be a little darker around the edges, but pull the bites out before they start to burn.
