Ingredients for Salmon with Miso Marinade

• Miso Paste: This fermented soybean paste from Japan adds a rich, salty flavor. There are various types—white is mild, yellow is stronger, and red is saltier. It helps tenderize fish while boosting flavor.
• Apple Cider Vinegar: Made from fermented apple juice, it offers a tangy, slightly sweet taste. It balances the Salmon’s richness and helps enhance flavors.
• Sesame Oil: Toasted sesame oil has a nutty flavor and aroma. It is commonly used in Asian dishes. Just a small amount makes a big difference in the marinade.
• Soy Sauce: A staple in many Asian recipes, soy sauce adds saltiness and depth. It comes in different types, like light and dark, each with a unique taste.

Procedure

• Prepare the Salmon: Place miso paste, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, and soy sauce in a small bowl and mix until combined. Brush the paste on the Salmon and let it sit for a few minutes.
• Cook the Salmon—You can cook the prepared Salmon on the stovetop or in the air fryer. I cooked mine in the air fryer. Spray the air fryer tray with nonstick oil. Line the Salmon in the air fryer basket. Push the air fry setting and set the temperature to 350°F. Set the timer to 4 minutes. When done, boil the Salmon for 8 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

You can serve this with a rice bowl. Add spicy and simple Asian cucumber salad to the side.

How to Store and Reheat Salmon with Miso Marinade

This meal is so good that I doubt there will be leftovers, but if there are, transfer the cooked Salmon to a sealed container. You can store it in the fridge for up to three days or freeze it, which will last for three months.
