Easy Healthy Miso-glazed Salmon Airfryer Recipe
Miso-glazed salmon is Japanese dish that's easy to prepare and cook.
Servings: 2
Equipment
- 1 airfryer
Ingredients
- 2 pcs salmon fillets (about 200 gram each) skin-on or skinless
Miso marinating sauce
- 2 tbsp Red Miso paste
- 1 tbsp regular soy sauce
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp Chinese Shaoxing wine or Japanese sake
Instructions
- Mix all the miso marinating sauce in a bowl until combined. The sauce must be slightly thick consistency that when you take a spoonful, it doesn't completely and immediatel slide off when you turn the spoon upside down.
- Remove excess moisture from your salmon by patting it dry. It doesn't need to be completely dry but if it's wet, the sauce will slide off.
- Coat your salmon fillets with the miso sauce. Marinate for at least 2 hours or up to 5 hours in the refrigerator.
- Once ready, remove excess miso sauce from the fillet. It will burn if there's too much when you cook.
- Preheat your airfryer to 390F (200C) for 5 minutes.
- Place your fillets in the airfryer basket and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness.
- Serve with white rice, your choice of greens, and even a bowl of miso soup!
Notes
- Salmon fillet. Depending on how thick your salmon is, it will take between 8 to 10 minutes to cook through in a preheated 200C airfryer without overcooking.
- Miso paste. We prefer the taste of red miso as it's more savory compared to white miso. We use the same paste for miso soup too! But if all you have is white miso, it should work well too but may taste a bit lighter.
- Shaoxing Wine. I personally prefer the taste of the final dish using Shaoxing wine over the Japanese Sake, but either works.
- Salmon skin. If you want crispy salmon skin, make sure to pat it dry and spray with some cooking oil.
- Marinating time. I recommend marinating for at least 2 hours and up to 5 hours before cooking.
