Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds cod fillets or another white fish such as haddock, flounder, or sole
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Serving
- lemon slices
- fresh parsley
Instructions
- Take the cod out of the package and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut it into pieces that fit in the air fryer basket.
- Mince the garlic and juice the lemon if using a fresh lemon.
- Using parchment paper in the air fryer will make cleanup easier. Put a piece in the bottom and put the piece of cod on top, with the skin side down.
- Drizzle the fresh lemon juice and olive oil on top of the filets. Sprinkle on the paprika, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic.
- Air fry the fish at 370 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, cooking until the fish is just done. Check that the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees F or that the cod flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve with lemon slices and sprinkled with fresh herbs.
