Wipe the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.

In a small bowl, whisk together, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, black pepper and cornflour. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.

Pour about ½ cup teriyaki marinade into a wide bowl and place the salmon skin-side up. Rub the marinade all over the salmon fillets. Marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.

Preheat Air fryer to 400F. Place the salmon skin side up on a parchment paper in the air fryer basket and air fry for 6 to 7 minutes until the skin is crispy.
