Air Fryer Cod
Description
The Air Fryer Cod features cod loins dipped into a blend of olive oil, melted butter, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning to coat thoroughly. Lemon slices are placed on top before air frying at 200°C for about 10 minutes. This cooking method allows the cod to cook evenly with a slightly crisp exterior while maintaining a flaky and moist texture inside.
The use of herbs and citrus enhances the mild flavor of cod without overpowering it. Cooking in an air fryer avoids excess oil and allows for a quick bake with natural fish juices retained.
Serving suggestions could include simple sides like steamed vegetables or a fresh salad, as the cod carries the main flavor notes itself.
Key tips include patting the cod dry before coating to ensure better browning and avoiding overcrowding the basket so the fish cooks evenly. It's advised not to flip the fish during cooking to prevent it from breaking apart. Monitoring the fish around 7 to 8 minutes can help ensure it does not overcook.
