Instructions
- Begin by choosing a fresh fish fillet. Look for firm flesh with a mild aroma. Popular choices include cod, haddock, and tilapia, as they hold up well in an air fryer.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This ensures even cooking and a crispy texture.
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Coat the fish fillets with the marinade, making sure each piece is evenly covered.
- Place the coated fish fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Air fry the fish for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the fish fillets from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Notes
- For a crispy coating, consider using breadcrumbs or panko before air frying.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the fish fillets. Thicker fillets may require additional time.
- Experiment with different seasonings to find your favorite flavor profile.
