Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) soy sauce can also use tamari or coconut aminos
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) garlic paste or 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ginger paste or 2 teaspoons minced ginger
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml) cornstarch
  • 4 salmon filets 5 oz (140 g) each, skin removed
  • sesame seeds and scallions optional for serving

Method
 

  1. Combine soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes while whisking until thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  2. Cut salmon fillets into even 1-inch pieces. Place the salmon in a medium bowl, pour 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce over it, and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Coat the air fryer basket with non-aerosol cooking spray. Arrange the salmon bites in a single layer and cook for 6-8 minutes until golden and tender, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
  4. Serve the cooked salmon bites immediately, garnished with a squeeze of lemon, sesame seeds, and sliced scallions.

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I often use tamari instead of soy sauce if I want a gluten-free version, and it still gives that wonderful salty depth I crave.
