Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 lb Halibut (approximately 6 ounce fillets)
- 3 tbsp Sake or Rice Wine
- 2 tbsp Sweet White Miso Paste
- 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 2 tsp butter
- 3 tbsp Mirin
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Cooking Spray for air fryer
- Sesame Oil, optional
- Black sesame seeds, garnish
- Ground white pepper and salt
Instructions
- 1
If using frozen halibut, defrost overnight in the fridge. Wash and pat completely dry with kitchen paper towels. Moisture prevents proper searing.
- 2
Season fish generously with ground white pepper and salt on both sides.
- 3
Prepare miso sauce in a small bowl. Combine sake, sweet white miso paste, butter, brown sugar, and mirin. Whisk until butter melts and mixture turns smooth.
- 4
Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 3-4 minutes. This ensures immediate searing when fish hits the basket.
- 5
Line the bottom of the air fryer basket with air fryer parchment paper for easy cleanup. Make sure paper has holes for airflow.
- 6
Place halibut fillet in the basket. Brush all sides generously with miso mixture. Don't skimp on the glaze.
- 7
Spray lightly with cooking spray to help glaze caramelize.
- 8
Cook for 7 minutes at 350°F. Fish is done when it flakes easily and reaches internal temperature of 130-135°F.

Let rest 2 minutes before serving. Garnish with black sesame seeds and serve immediately.
