  1. 01Mix all glaze ingredients until smooth.
  2. 02Coat the fillets with the glaze on the flesh side (not the skin side).
  3. 03Place skin-side down on parchment paper in the basket.
  4. 04Ready for the air fryer.
Black cod is one of the richest, most buttery fish in the ocean. The miso glaze is the Nobu-famous preparation and it's here because black cod without miso is like steak without salt. Possible, but you're missing the point. White miso is mild and sweet. Don't use red miso, which is too strong and overwhelms the fish. The glaze caramelizes into a deeply golden, lacquered crust.
