💡 Chef's tip
Do not go over time — salmon keeps cooking with residual heat. Better to take it out when the centre still looks slightly underdone. Miso burns easily, so do not use the grill function if your air fryer has one.
📝 Our take
The miso-mirin combination on salmon is one of the most effective marinades there is: miso contributes deep umami, mirin adds caramelised sweetness, and salmon has enough fat to carry both. In the air fryer the result is a slightly lacquered exterior with a still-juicy interior. Five minutes of marinating minimum, twenty is better.
🍷 Wine & food pairing
Cold sake, especially a junmai, or a Japanese lager like Asahi. For wine drinkers, an Alsatian Pinot Gris has the body and slight sweetness that works with miso.
