Air Fryer Instructions
Follow recipe as written until broiling instructions. Place marinated fillets in the air fryer basket and air fry for 10 minutes at 375F or until cooked through.
Notes
Ensure that your fish is 6 inches from the broiler and keep the door open just slightly while broiling. Once you start to notice the brown sugar caramelizing you will want to keep an eye on it to not overcook it.
Make Ahead: Marinating is key to getting the full Asian flavor into the fish. You can marinate overnight or as little as 3 hours. The longer you marinate, the more flavors there will be.
Storage: Although leftovers of this delicious dish are rare, store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Freezing: Once cooked, it should not be refrozen. However, if you purchase fresh fillets, you can pre-marinate your fish and store it in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. This is a great option if you are choosing to sous-vide the fish as well.
Reheating: Reheat leftovers in the oven by broiling fish until just heated. It is also fabulous eaten cold in a sushi bowl, similar to our salmon buddha bowl.
