Miso sauce is a Japanese fermented soybean paste used as a seasoning or condiment. It ranges in color from white to yellow to red and has a salty, umami flavor. It's typically used in Japanese cooking to add depth of flavor to soups, sauces, and marinades.

How long does it take to cook salmon in the air fryer?

It takes about 10 minutes to cook salmon in the air fryer. Depending on the thickness of your salmon, you may need to cook it for a few minutes longer.

How do you cook salmon in an air fryer without drying it out?

PRO TIP: PREHEAT YOUR AIR FRYER. The key to cooking salmon in an air fryer without drying it out is not to overcook it. Salmon is a delicate fish, so you'll want to be careful not to overcook it, or else it will become dry and tough. Check the internal temperature of the salmon with a digital food thermometer and aim for 120 to 125 degrees Fahrenheit.

Can I put aluminum foil in an air fryer?

Yes, you can put aluminum foil in an air fryer. You'll want to use a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil that is large enough to fit over the entire salmon filet. Just make sure that the aluminum foil doesn't touch the heating element of the air fryer. However, I prefer using parchment paper.

Do I need to adjust the air fry time for the salmon fillets if I remove the salmon skin?

Nope, the cook time for salmon fillets in the air fryer generally does not need to be adjusted whether you use salmon fillets with skin or without. The skin can help retain some of the salmon's natural moisture during cooking, potentially making the flesh slightly juicier, but it doesn't typically extend the required cooking time by a notable amount.
