Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets salmon fillets skin-on preferred
  • 2 cups broccoli florets fresh
  • ¼ cup soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons mirin or honey
  • 2 teaspoons fresh garlic grated or minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated or minced
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch optional, for thickening sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil or avocado oil
  • salt to taste, for broccoli seasoning
  • toasted sesame seeds for garnish, optional
  • chopped green onions for garnish, optional

Equipment

  • Air Fryer For cooking the salmon and broccoli efficiently
  • Small Bowl To whisk together teriyaki sauce ingredients
  • Brush To glaze the salmon with sauce

Method
 

  1. Prepare the teriyaki sauce by whisking together soy sauce, mirin or honey, grated garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl. If using cornstarch, mix it with a little water and add to the sauce to thicken it.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry and brush them evenly with half of the teriyaki sauce. Let them marinate for 15-30 minutes at room temperature to absorb flavors without becoming overly salty or mushy.
  3. Toss the broccoli florets with sesame or avocado oil and a sprinkle of salt.
  4. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket and arrange the broccoli florets around them (or cook in batches if needed).
  5. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the broccoli is crisp-tender.
  6. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the salmon with the remaining teriyaki sauce to build a glossy, caramelized coating.
  7. Remove from the air fryer and let the salmon rest for a few minutes to redistribute juices. Serve with broccoli, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Dry the broccoli well after washing to keep it crisp and prevent sogginess.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispy textures.
  • Store leftovers in airtight containers and reheat gently to maintain moisture and texture.
  • For a vegetarian or vegan version, substitute salmon with firm tofu or tempeh and use plant-based teriyaki ingredients.
