Ingredients

¼ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 cloves garlic crushed
2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
4 salmon filets about 1 ½ - 2 inches thick

Instructions

In a small mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, soy sauce, ketchup, rice wine vinegar, ground black pepper, minced garlic, chili garlic sauce, brown sugar, and oyster sauce.
Whisk everything together until the teriyaki sauce ingredients are evenly combined.
Place four 8-ounce salmon fillets in a large freezer bag.
Pour half of the teriyaki sauce over the salmon.
Seal the bag and gently toss to coat the fillets with the sauce.
Allow the filets to marinate in the teriyaki sauce for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray.
Arrange the salmon skin side down in the air fryer. Discard any marinade left in the bag.
Bake the salmon at 350 degrees for 8-12 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F on a meat thermometer.
Drizzle the filets with the reserved sauce or serve it as a dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

Storage. Transfer the leftover salmon to an airtight container within two hours. Store the fillets in the refrigerator and consume them within 3-4 days.

Freezing. This air fryer salmon recipe can be frozen baked or unbaked. Place unbaked salmon in a plastic freezer bag. Pour half the marinade over the top. Carefully squeeze out any excess air. Freeze for up to three months. Thaw completely before baking.

Wrap individual fillets of leftover baked salmon in plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil. Freeze and consume within three months. Thaw completely before reheating.

Reheating. To reheat the salmon in the air fryer, preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Let the salmon sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes. Place the salmon in the air fryer basket, skin-side down. Cook for 3–5 minutes until the salmon is heated through.

To reheat in the oven, preheat to around 275°F. Place the salmon on a baking sheet, loosely cover with foil, and reheat for about 15 minutes, or until heated through, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 125°F to 130°F.
