Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame seeds until well combined.
Place the salmon fillets in a large zip-top bag. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the salmon, seal the bag, and gently massage to coat. Marinate for 20 minutes.
Optional for skinless salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and let the excess drip off. If desired, spread a thin layer of mayo over the tops and sprinkle with furikake seasoning
Air fry salmon:
For skin-on salmon: Place fillets skin-side up and air fry for 4 minutes. Flip carefully, then cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until cooked through.
For skinless salmon: Air fry for 8 to 9 minutes, or until cooked through.
While the salmon cooks, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until slightly thickened.
Brush cooked salmon with teriyaki sauce. Serve and enjoy!
