How To Make a Low Carb Miso Salmon
- Whisk. In a small bowl combine Truvia, soy sauce, hot water, miso , garlic, ginger and pepper. Whisk to combine. If you are not keto / low carb , use brown sugar.
- Cover. Place salmon fillets on a plate. Pour half the sauce over the fillets, flip them over, and cover the other side of the salmon with the sauce.
- Cook. Spray air fryer basket with nonstick vegetable oil spray. Place the sauce-covered salmon into the air fryer basket. Set fryer to 400°F for 12 minutes. Halfway through, brush additional miso sauce on top.
- Finish. Top fillets with sesame seeds and scallions.
Tips & Tricks For Making Perfect Air Fryer Miso Salmon
- Air Frying. Air fryers make the best seafood ever , and they do so without making your whole house smell like fish.
- Test the Temp. The best way to know if seafood is done enough is to use a meat thermometer . Salmon is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145F.
- Tongs. You also want silicone-tipped tongs so that you don’t inadvertently tear the seafood as you try to turn it.
- Marinating. Don’t marinate the fish for too long otherwise, it gets a little bit mealy. I’d say no more than 30 minutes at the outside, but ideally, 5-10 minutes is more than enough.
- Leftovers. You can use any leftovers in a salad or over rice if you aren’t keto.
- Subs. You can also use any type of thick fish steaks with the same marinade.
- Oven. For making in an oven, cook at 400 F for 12 minutes and then broil for 1-2 minutes until the top is crispy.

Instant Pot Braised Short Ribs are easy to make and the result is completely mouthwatering. Through pressure cooking, the meat soaks up a ton of flavor from the seasonings and gets so tender that it literally falls from the bone.
Why You’ll Love These Instant Pot Short Ribs
The flavors in this dish are simple, but far from boring. Pressure cooking the beef short rib along with aromatics and seasonings gives the dish deep umami and ties all of the flavors together.
Plus I add an unexpected special ingredient that really kicks the flavor profile up a notch.
This recipe includes chipotle chiles in adobo sauce for a bit of smoky heat.
The amount of chipotle in the recipe is just enough to add a high note to balance the deep, rich, umami flavors of the meat without making it too spicy.
If you like more spice, by all means, add more chipotle and/or more of the sweet-spicy-smoky adobo sauce it is packed in. But keep in mind the recipe as written calls for ONE chili with a tablespoon of the sauce, not one can of chili!
The sauce also has tomatoes, garlic, onions, and other seasonings. All of that flavor is infused into the meat in this Instant Pot recipe and the result is mind-blowingly delicious.
What
is so special about this Instant Pot ribs recipe?
Beef short ribs traditionally require long, slow cooking to become infused with the flavors of the sauce and turn fall-off-the-bone tender. But with cooking short ribs in the Instant Pot, you can get deliciously tender, perfectly cooked short ribs in a fraction of the time.
From start to finish, you can make these pressure cooker braised shortribs in 60 minutes and that is including the time it takes your pressure cooker to come up to pressure and to naturally release the pressure.
It’s so quick and easy, I guarantee you’ll think this is the best short rib recipe .
This Instant Pot Short Ribs recipe is ideal for serving to guests or for a regular weeknight meal. You don’t need to use your oven, stand over the stove, or heat up your house. The Instant Pot does most of the work for you.
What are short ribs?
They are literally, very short ribs. They are the five or so short ribs on an animal that are too short to be used for steaks, and so they’re sold as short ribs.
You can get a few different cuts of short ribs. The ones I used as are an extended English style, which is essentially a chunk of meat with a bone in it.
You can also get flanken style ribs as I used in my Korean Galbi recipe, and then you have the super short spare ribs I used for this Chinese Spare ribs recipe , which are basically pork ribs, which are different from short ribs which are always beef, or you can use these long beef ribs for making Smoky Pressure Cooker ribs , and country style ribs are really just pork shoulder that you can use for my pulled pork recipes and….
Are you thoroughly confused yet?? Here’s the good news. They’are all delicious. So there’s that. But to recap my ramblings:
- Short ribs are 5 beef ribs that are too short for steaks. They can be cut English style or flanken style
- Spare ribs are small pork ribs
- A rack of ribs can be either pork or beef.
- Country Style ribs are cut-up pork shoulder, also known as pork butt. So really, not ribs at all, to be honest.
How
to make this easy pressure cooker ribs recipe
- Make the sauce. Purée onions, bell pepper, tomatoes, chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, garlic, and seasonings in a food processor or blender.
- Saute . Heat the Instant Pot using the sauté function and then add the pureed vegetables and seasonings. Cook until the mixture has thickened. Deglaze pan with 1/4 cup of water.
- Add ribs. Add the short ribs and 1/2 cup of water.
- Cook . Seal the pot and pressure cook for 45 minutes.
- NPR . Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes and then quick-release any remaining pressure.
- Serve . Remove the meat from the pot and serve immediately, along with the sauce.
Tips and tricks for making this Instant pot short ribs recipe
- You can use either bone-in or boneless short ribs. The cooking time will be about the same either way. I prefer to use short ribs with the bone in because I think the bone adds flavor during cooking. On the other hand, a boneless short rib recipe makes serving a bit easier. When cooking large pieces of meat in the pressure cooker, always use a natural release. This prevents the proteins in the meat from seizing up and turning your meat tough.
- I don’t recommend pre-searing the meat before pressure cooking. Because of the super-heated cooking environment created by the pressure cooker, this step is unnecessary. It only adds time and effort to the recipe. For a more in-depth explanation, watch my video on the Maillard reaction and how it functions in a pressure cooker to give you deeply flavored dishes.
- If the meat isn’t as tender as you’d like after you’ve released the pressure, put it back in for another 5 minutes on high pressure. The pot will come to pressure faster the second time since the contents are already hot.
- If you want to thicken the sauce, after you remove the meat from the pot set the pot to sauté again and cook, stirring, until the sauce reduces and thickens.

Instant Pot Beef Short Ribs
Equipment
- Instant Pot
Ingredients
- ▢ 1 cup Onion , chopped
- ▢ 1 cup Bell Peppers
- ▢ 1 cup Tomatoes
- ▢ 4-6 cloves Garlic
- ▢ 1 Chipotle Chile in Adobo Sauce , with 1 tablespoon of sauce from the can
- ▢ 1 tsp Dried Thyme
- ▢ 1/2 tsp Ground Allspice
- ▢ 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- ▢ 1 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- ▢ 2 tbsp Oil
- ▢ 1/4 cup water , for deglazing
- ▢ 2 pounds beef short ribs
- ▢ 1/2 cup water , for ribs
Instructions
In a food processor or blender, blend together onion, bell pepper, tomatoes, garlic, chipotle chili thyme, allspice, salt, and pepper.
Select SAUTÉ/HIGH on the Instant Pot. When the pot is hot, add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the blended vegetables. Sauté stirring frequently until the water has largely evaporated from the paste, about 8-10 minutes.
Add in the short ribs and another 1/2 cup of water and stir.
Secure the lid on the pot. Close the pressure-release valve. Select MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK and set the pot at HIGH pressure for 35 minutes.
When cook time is complete, let pot release pressure naturally for 15 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, use a quick release to depressurize.
Serve the ribs with the sauce on the side.
You can use either bone-in or boneless short ribs. The cooking time will be about the same either way.
If the meat isn’t as tender as you’d like after you’ve released the pressure, put it back in for another 5 minutes on high pressure. The pot will come to pressure faster the second time since the contents are already hot.
If you want to thicken the sauce, after you remove the meat from the pot set the pot to sauté again and cook, stirring, until the sauce reduces and thickens
Macros and serving size assume half the weight of the ribs is bone so you will have 1 lb of cooked meet, with 4 oz of meat per person.
