Quick read

Teriyaki Salmon with Broccoli is designed for the air fryer: short cooking time, direct heat and a crisp finish without extra oil.
Keep the basket in a mostly single layer so hot air can move around every piece.
Use the listed time as a guide, but trust the visual cue first: browned edges, a set center, or glossy vegetables.
Let the food rest for 1 to 2 minutes before serving so the texture settles.

Why it works

Quick salmon fillets and broccoli with teriyaki glaze, sesame and lemon. High protein and air fryer heat make this a compact recipe with strong texture and clear flavor.

For beginners

Read the whole method once before starting and line up the ingredients in order. If something browns too quickly, lower the temperature or shake earlier instead of extending the total time blindly.

Common mistakes and fixes

A crowded basket traps steam and softens the surface. Cook in two batches if needed.
Wet ingredients do not brown well. Pat proteins or vegetables dry before seasoning.
Uneven cuts cook unevenly. Keep pieces close in size.

Serving and storage

Serve straight away for the best contrast between crisp edges and a tender center. Leftovers keep up to 2 days in a sealed container and reheat best with a short air fryer refresh.

Kitchen note

Same timing if cut short.
