Frequently asked questions
How do you make miso salmon in an air fryer?
Marinate salmon in a glaze of white miso, mirin, soy and honey, then air fry at 200°C for 8–10 minutes until caramelised and flaky.
What miso should you use?
White (shiro) miso is milder and sweeter, ideal for a glaze; red miso is stronger and saltier if you want more depth.

Miso has sugars that can catch, so keep an eye on it near the end and pull the salmon as soon as the top is caramelised.
