Air Fryer Miso Brown-Sugar Salmon

Once you try this super-easy sweet-and-savory salmon, you’ll want every day to be Fish Friday. We like to use an air fryer for quick-cooking salmon fillets, which provides consistently great results—especially after they’ve been marinated in this yummy miso-and-brown-sugar concoction. MOWI Salmon is our go-to for responsibly raised Atlantic salmon—the company works with nature to raise delicious fish packed with essential vitamins and minerals that make it a great choice for nutritious, lean protein.

Ingredients

• 1

  MOWI Atlantic Salmon Portion (6 oz.)

• 1 tbsp.

  brown sugar

• 1 tsp.

  white miso

• 1/2 tsp.

  sesame oil

• 1/2 tsp.

  rice vinegar

• 1/2 tsp.

  soy sauce or tamari

• 1/4 tsp.

  ground ginger

Salt and black pepper to taste

• 1/4 tsp.

  toasted sesame seeds

Sliced scallions, for garnish

Directions

1. Pat salmon dry and place in a shallow bowl; set aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, miso, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and ginger. Pour mixture over the salmon, turning to coat all sides. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat air fryer to 400˚F and prepare basket by lining with foil. Remove salmon from marinade and transfer, skin-side down, to the foil-lined basket. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet, or until the internal temperature reads 145˚F for medium-well.
4. Season with salt and pepper, top with a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds, and garnish with sliced scallions. Serve with rice or a side salad.
