Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 oz (170 g) each
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets (about 130 g)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sliced carrots (about 120 g)
  • 1 cup snap peas (about 100 g)
  • 2 stalks green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Make the teriyaki glaze: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Prepare the cornstarch slurry: Mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water until smooth, then stir into the teriyaki mixture.
  3. Cook the glaze: Pour the sauce into a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened and glossy. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Prep the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly brush both sides with a little oil.
  5. Air fry the salmon: Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. Place salmon skin-side down in the basket without overcrowding. Cook for 8 minutes, brush top with teriyaki glaze, then cook another 2-3 minutes until caramelized and cooked through (internal temp 125-130°F).
  6. Stir-fry the vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic, then broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until veggies start to soften but remain crisp.
  7. Add snap peas and green onions: Stir in snap peas and green onions, splash 1 tablespoon soy sauce over veggies, and cook for another 1-2 minutes, tossing constantly.
  8. Serve: Plate salmon fillets with a spoonful of teriyaki glaze drizzled on top and a heap of stir-fried vegetables on the side.

Notes

Pat salmon skin very dry before cooking to achieve crispiness. Avoid overcrowding air fryer basket for even cooking. Let salmon rest a few minutes after cooking to keep moist. Use tamari instead of soy sauce for gluten-free option. Reheat leftovers gently in air fryer or low oven to preserve crispiness.
