Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste a fermented soybean paste found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store
- 2-3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos for a soy-free option
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar as a substitute
- 1-2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger or ginger paste
- 1 clove garlic grated
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or ¼ teaspoon chili flakes, for a little heat, optional
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil such as avocado, canola or sunflower oil
- 2 (6 ounce) salmon fillets preferably Atlantic salmon, skin on, and defrosted if frozen
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds to garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, grated garlic, lime juice, sriracha (or chili flakes), and oil until smooth.
- Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a large bowl or shallow dish. Pour the miso glaze over the top, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to overnight in an airtight container. The longer it marinates, the deeper the umami flavor will be!
- To broil the salmon: Preheat the broiler to low heat and adjust the oven rack to the top position. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper (or aluminum foil) for easy cleanup. Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, at the center of the prepared baking sheet. Broil for 6-8 minutes until the top is golden brown and the salmon cooks through. Check for an internal temperature of 125-130°F for medium doneness or 140°F for well-done.
- To air fry the salmon: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (high heat). Lightly coat the basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the salmon skin-side down and air fry for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
- Cook the marinade (optional): If you like a little sauce on your salmon, cook the remaining marinade with ½ cup of water in a saucepan over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
