Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Cod Fillets:
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. This will help them crisp up in the air fryer. - Season the Cod:
Drizzle the olive oil over the fillets, then sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning evenly over the fillets to coat them. - Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. - Cook the Cod:
Place the seasoned cod fillets in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overlapping for even cooking. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the fillets. - Finish and Serve:
Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the air fryer and drizzle with lemon juice. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. - Enjoy:
Serve the cod fillets with your favorite side dish, such as roasted vegetables, salad, or rice, and enjoy a healthy, moist, and delicious meal!
Notes
- If you prefer extra crispiness, you can lightly coat the fillets in breadcrumbs before air frying.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your cod fillets.
- You can substitute the cod with other white fish, like tilapia or haddock, if preferred.
