Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons miso paste preferably white
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce see note for alternatives
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger freshly grated
  • 2 center-cut salmon fillets
  • 2 carrots sliced into 1/4-inch coins
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas
  • 1 cup cooked white rice

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Small Bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Brush or spoon
  • Tongs or spatula
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, miso paste, low-sodium soy sauce, grated garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
  2. Brush both sides of the salmon fillets with about half of the miso sauce, reserving the remainder for the vegetables; season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
  3. Toss the sliced carrots with the remaining miso sauce so they are evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the salmon fillets and coated carrots in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
  5. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes.
  6. Add the sugar snap peas to the basket around the salmon and carrots, then continue cooking for an additional 2–3 minutes, until the salmon is lightly browned and flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Serve the miso salmon and vegetables immediately over cooked white rice.

Notes

  • Use tamari or coconut aminos as a gluten-free substitute for soy sauce.
  • Substitute 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger if you don't have fresh ginger.
  • Serve with other vegetables like bok choy, edamame, broccoli, or peppers if preferred.
  • Firm white fish such as trout, cod, or halibut can be used; adjust cooking time as needed.
  • If you don't have an air fryer, bake at 400°F for 10–12 minutes.
