Ingredients

  • 2 white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, haddock, or your preferred fish)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or cooking spray)

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)

  • Fresh parsley or dill, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Fish:

    • Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps the seasoning adhere better and ensures the fish gets crispy in the air fryer.

    • Brush both sides of the fillets with olive oil (or lightly spray with cooking spray) to promote crispiness.

  • Season the Fish:

    • Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over both sides of the fish fillets. Adjust the seasonings based on your taste preferences.

  • Preheat the Air Fryer:

    • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures that the fish cooks evenly and crisps up nicely.

  • Air Fry the Fish:

    • Place the seasoned fish fillets in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the fillets in batches.

    • Air fry the fish at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is golden brown and easily flakes with a fork. The exact cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the fillets and the type of fish, so check for doneness after 8 minutes.

  • Serve:

    • Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the air fryer. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice for a bright, tangy flavor and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or dill if desired.

    • Serve the fish with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a simple salad.

Notes

Add Herbs: Try using fresh or dried herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano to season the fish for a more herby flavor.Spicy Version: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning for a spicy kick.Lemon & Garlic Marinade: Marinate the fish in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for 15-30 minutes before cooking for added flavor.Crispy Coating: For a crunchier coating, dip the fish in beaten egg and coat it with breadcrumbs before air frying.
