1 tbsp chili crisp, plus extra for drizzling over rice
Directions
In a small bowl, combine the miso paste, seasoned rice vinegar, honey and 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil.
Cut the salmon into 3 evenly sized fillets and place in a small glass dish (I use a glass storage container). Coat the salmon with the miso marinade. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 12 and up to 24 hours.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and wipe it gently with a paper towel. You don’t want it to be bone dry, but you don’t want too much marinade clinging to it.
Arrange the salmon evenly spaced in your air fryer basket, and cook at 400° (F), until it is your desired degree of doneness, about 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway through cook time. I always test the salmon’s doneness using an instant read thermometer. 125–130°F (52–54°C) will give you “medium” (moist and slightly translucent center) salmon and 135°F (57°C) will give you “well-done” (more opaque and firm) salmon. If you prefer your salmon cooked all the way through (I do because I serve it to a small child), cook the salmon to 145°(F), per the USDA recommendation.
Combine the remaining 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil with 1 tbsp chili crisp, and brush over the cooked salmon. Garnish with the sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Drizzle remaining sesame oil/chili crisp over rice, if desired.
