Preheat Air Fryer to ensures even cooking from the start. For Salmon with skin, I preheat Ninja foodi fryer for 4 minutes at 390 degrees Fahrenheit.
Fully Pat Dry Salmon to ensure no liquid is hanging on fish. This way hot air of fryer with roast salmon well and salmon will not steam in it's own liquid. Very important!
Brush oil on preheat Air Fryer Rack with silicon brush before placing in the Salmon skin side down. This ensures salmon skin start getting crispy right from the start. It also comes out clean without breaking with crispy delicious skin.
Cook salmon undisturbed in single layer. I use Ninja Foodi Air Fryer 5.5 quart which can hold about 4 fillets in single layer. Don't flip salmon in-between cooking.

Cooking Salmon in Air Fryer

I always start with patting dry the salmon until no moisture is visible on skin. Paper towels are great for this job. Next, marinate salmon in miso and maple marinate. Let the air fryer preheat with air rack. This way rack is hot when skin of marinated salmon comes in contact with air fryer. This is what makes skin crispy to perfection. Brush remaining miso glaze on top and sides of salmon once half way through cooking.

That's it! in 7-10 mins, perfectly glazed, crispy skin Miso Salmon is ready. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve!
