This delicious miso salmon is a foolproof way to cook this healthy fish that is packed with flavor. Not only are you getting the benefits of eating fish that is rich in heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, but you're also getting the probiotic benefits of naturally fermented miso!
This is one of my "go-to" meal prep favorites because the cold salmon can be added to a salad the next day for a healthy lunch option.

See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
Coat all sides of salmon with seasoning. Make sure to rub olive oil on the bottom of your air fryer tray to prevent sticking. Place salmon on tray and air fry on 390 for 4 minutes. Flip, and cook another 3 minutes.
Combine your chopped kale and cabbage in a bowl. Top with salmon and pour your miso jalapeño dressing on top! Enjoy!
Hint: Leftover salmon is a great next-day salad topper, or flaked apart and tossed with your favorite pasta and sauce.
Substitutions
- Salmon- instead of salmon, you can substitute your favorite fish, chicken breast, or lean pork.
- Kale- use your favorite leafy green vegetable, or salad greens.
- Vegetarian - substitute cubed tofu, or other vegetarian protein.
Variations
- Spicy - add 2 teaspoon of chili oil or sriracha
- Bowl - make it a bowl instead of a salad by serving with rice and shelled edamame
Equipment
This recipe is best when cooked in an air fryer, but a conventional oven or toaster oven will work just as well.
Storage
Store the cooked salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
Top tip
Don't overcook the salmon, cook to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, but it should still be juicy for best results.
