I am on a mission to share with you HEALTHY and DELICIOUS recipes that taste good and make you feel good.
I love Salmon! It is an excellent protein source and is rich in Omega 3 Fatty Acids. I am using fresh filet today. You can also use frozen one as well, just make sure to defrost before marinating it. Some other alternative fish you can use include Pink Trout, Halibut, and Black Cod. The cooking time may differ, but they all taste amazing with miso.
If you don’t have an Air Fryer, you can also make Miso-Glazed Salmon in an oven.
Depending on how big your filet is, you can bake at 400 for 10-12 minutes. Miso and soy sauce burns quickly, so it’s important to brush off any access marinate before placing it in the Air Fryer or Oven. I am using sugar today to sweeten and balance out the miso paste. However, if you are keto, you can replace the sugar with monk fruit sweetener by adding half of the amount. Some other alternatives that will also work are honey or Mirin.

Not only is Miso Paste delicious, but it is also SUPER healthy. Miso Paste is a fermented ingredient that is good for your guts; it is also filled with rich minerals and has tons of antioxidants. I recommend using either white miso paste or dashi miso paste. However, any will work. You can find Miso Paste at your local supermarket’s refrigerated section, typically near the tofu and kimchi section.

So easy and delish! I baked in the oven cuz I had over 2.5 lbs of salmon to bake. So I doubled the sauce and did approx 8 ounce filets for approx 16 mins at 400 and they came out scrummy!
Tiff…this recipe was on point! Hubby and all 3 of my boys loved it. So good direct from the air fryer. Can’t wait to try this on halibut! BTW congrats on your upcoming wedding nuptials!
Hi Tiff, if I were to use honey instead of sugar, how much do I add for this recipe? Love your recipes and Tik Toks!!
Hi! 🙂 thanks so much for checking out my website, I would use 1.5 tbsp
So delicious. Tripled the recipe and it was still easy and quick to make. Thanks so much, we will definitely be making again!
Literally one of my new favorite ways to make salmon!!! I also added furikake to the rice for an extra oomph! Thanks tiff!
Delicious & so easy. Hubby & I enjoyed a lot!
Doubled the recipe for 4 pieces of salmon and used honey instead of sugar. Very easy to make but definitely be careful with the excess marinade it gets dark quick and I didn’t wipe mine off like the recipe said. I also recommend removing the skin from the salmon. I left it on one piece and it didn’t get crispy it was kinda chewy. The skinless pieces came out better plus I just air fried it later and ate it anyway 😆
I have tried several of your recipes and they have all been BANGIN! This especially
Can I marinade over night?
Yes, you can!
This was so easy and so delicious!! I am going to make this regularly!!
Just for a little extra pop I used a high quality yuzu instead of soy sauce, and I had this with Sun Noodle Miso Ramen. The miso salmon went with the miso ramen perfectly. Thanks for this great recipe I’m going to be using more of your recipes!!!
I make this weekly – it’s so good
