Note: If you don't own an air fryer, you can use your oven's broiler instead and follow WAC's Easy Sablefish Recipe.
This recipe for air fryer miso sablefish gives this rich, buttery fillet a delicious contrast in texture. The sablefish skin becomes crispy and light, picking up a savory char as it air-fries, while the fillet stays flaky and moist. Sablefish is also known as black cod, but it's worth pointing out that it is not a species of cod — it resembles cod, but it's much fattier. The fat content of this fish is partly why this miso black cod recipe works so well, as the fillet melds beautifully with a miso marinade.
One of the best parts of this recipe is that you only need three ingredients for the simple miso marinade: miso paste, mirin, and sugar. Mixed together, they become a paste that is a little savory, a little sweet, and packed with umami. For best results, the sablefish should be marinated in this paste for at least 15 minutes before it goes into the air fryer, but you can let it marinate for up to an hour.
