Making our air fryer teriyaki salmon and noodles for dinner is a good thing – here’s why!

• You can marinate the salmon in the morning so it's extra tasty, then all you'll need to do at dinner time is air fry it and quickly stir fry the noodles.

• The air fryer is just super convenient to use – and costs less than using the traditional electric oven or grill as it’s only heating a small space.

• Salmon is packed with omega-3 fatty acids so it's a healthy choice for dinner.

Equipment Needed To Make Air Fryer Salmon And Noodles

• Sheet of tin foil - to line the air fryer

• Bowl - big enough to marinate the salmon fillets in

• Wok or large frying pan

Ingredients For Air Fryer Salmon And Noodles

You'll only need a handful of ingredients to make this tasty salmon noodle recipe for dinner

• 4 skinless and boneless salmon fillets - these are great for air fryer salmon

• 200ml teriyaki marinade - we used the Kikkoman teriyaki marinade with toasted sesame seeds

• 1 tablespoon sunflower oil - you can switch this for olive oil or rapeseed oil if you prefer

• 8 spring onions - sliced

• 550g noodles - buy the ones that are cooked and either need heating in the microwave or can be stir fried in the wok straight from the pack. We used udon noodles as they go so well with salmon fillets, but just choose your favourites.

• Small bunch coriander - roughly chopped

How To Make Air Fryer Salmon Noodles

Cooking salmon in the air fryer is really simple and a delicious way to cook it!

Step One - marinate the salmon fillets

• Place the salmon fillets into a bowl and pour over 100ml of the teriyaki marinade. Toss the salmon in the marinade and make sure it's coated on all sides.

Step Two - air fry the salmon

• Line the air fryer basket with the sheet of tinfoil - this just means that you won't have a really messy air fryer to clean-up after dinner.

• Lay the marinated salmon fillets into the air fryer basket in a single layer, no overlapping.

• Cook the salmon in the air fryer on 180C for around 8-10 minutes or until cooked through properly. If you have larger salmon fillets they'll take a little longer to cook - keep checking every 2-3 minutes and continue to cook until they're cooked through properly.

Cooks Note! How long to cook salmon in air fryer

Air fryer cooking speeds and temperatures vary from brand to brand. And salmon fillet sizes and thickness varies too. So when wondering how long to cook salmon for in the air fryer it's best to aim for an initial 8-10 minute cooking time at 180C.

Then just continue to check the salmon every 2-3 minutes after that and continue cooking until it's cooked through properly.

Step Three - cook the noodles

• When the salmon has been cooking for around 6 minutes, start to cook the noodles.

• Cook the noodles as per the packet instructions.

• Add the sunflower oil to the wok and tip in the spring onions, briskly stir fry over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes.

• Then tip in the cooked noodles and add the rest of the teriyaki marinade. Stir fry for a couple of minutes to coat all the cooked noodles in the marinade.

Step Four - serve the air fryer salmon and noodles

• Remove the salmon fillets from the air fryer carefully, to avoid burning hands.

• Then serve on a bed of noodles, topped with a scattering of chopped coriander. We like to add a side of steamed broccoli and baby corn also.
