Notes

  • Soy Sauce: Soy Sauce: Use an equal amount of tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten free alternative.
  • Ginger: You can use ¼ teaspoon of ground ginger in place of the grated.
  • I love carrots and snap peas with salmon, but you can also serve this salmon with baby bok choy, edamame, broccoli, peppers, or any other vegetable you enjoy.
  • You could use trout, cod, or halibut in place of the salmon. Just keep in mind that you may need to adjust the cooking time according to the type and thickness of the fish.
  • If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake the salmon at 400°F for 10-12 minutes.
Storage: Store air fryer miso salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
