I often find it very difficult to find time throughout the week. Sometimes it gets to the point where I debate if it’s worth the stress to cook, and I find myself tempted to just eat out or get delivery. With how busy the work week can get, it’s incredibly nice to have a quick, simple, and reliable meal right at home. You shouldn’t have to worry about whether or not the dish will turn out tasty. Our go-to dinner?

Why We Rely on Simple Ingredients
My family loves having salmon pretty much every week for dinner. It’s naturally become a staple in our meal rotation because it’s healthy, fast, and can be cooked in so many different ways. If you find yourself with a large amount of salmon in your fridge or freezer, finding a new way to prepare that same protein can be a struggle at times.
This is exactly where our Bungoyaki Original Teriyaki Sauce comes in. Our grandparents started serving this exact recipe at Bungo Restaurant back in 1965. Today, our family still follows their recipe, using the same six simple ingredients: soy sauce, cane sugar, high-quality sake, high-quality mirin, fresh garlic, and fresh ginger. There's no high-fructose corn syrup or chemical additives in our bottles.
Like our ingredients, using our sauce is simple and easy. No need to marinade your salmon in advance; just drizzle, dip, and glaze our teriyaki sauce over your fully cooked salmon and that's it!

Instructions:
1. Prepare the Air Fryer: Line the air fryer basket with foil (for easy clean-up) and lightly grease with oil.
2. Prepare Salmon: Gently pat dry the fillets with a paper towel, then place them in the air fryer, skin side down (if applicable).
