Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 4 ounces Salmon fillets Tender protein source; use 4-ounce portions for even cooking.
For the Glaze
  • 3 tablespoons Mirin Adds depth and sweetness; substitute with a splash of white wine mixed with sugar.
  • 2 cloves Minced garlic Enhances flavor profile; fresh garlic is recommended for the best taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Avocado oil Healthy oil with a high smoke point, essential for air frying; can use grapeseed or canola oil instead.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Balances the saltiness of miso for a harmonious glaze; consider maple syrup as a vegan alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons White miso paste Packed with umami, it's the star of the dish; tahini works well for a soy-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavor; use sparingly due to miso's natural saltiness.
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Adds subtle warmth; adjust according to your taste.
For Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons Green onions Sliced to add a fresh touch before serving; they brighten the dish beautifully.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine mirin, minced garlic, avocado oil, honey, and white miso paste. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on a plate.
  4. Using a basting brush, apply the miso glaze over each salmon fillet, ensuring complete coverage.
  5. Place the glazed salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 10 minutes.
  6. Remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for a minute. Garnish with sliced green onions just before serving.
