Air Fryer Cod Recipe
Description
The Air Fryer Cod starts with drying and cutting cod fillets to fit the basket. Minced garlic and fresh lemon juice are drizzled atop the fish along with olive oil. Seasonings of paprika, salt, and black pepper provide a gentle smoky and savory flavor. Using parchment paper helps keep the air fryer clean and prevents sticking.
Cooking at 370°F for 8 to 10 minutes ensures the fish reaches the recommended internal temperature of 145°F and flakes easily, signaling doneness. The quick cooking preserves moisture while giving the edges a light crispness. The fish is served with lemon slices and fresh parsley for a touch of color and acidity.
The seasoning can be varied with mixes like Italian herbs or Old Bay to suit preferences. This method offers a simple way to prepare delicate white fish with minimal fuss and cleanup.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds cod or another white fish such as haddock, flounder, or sole, fillets
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Serving
- lemon slices
- parsley fresh
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.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the seasonings with Italian herbs, Old Bay, or other spices as preferred.
