Ingredients
- 4 (6-ounce) cod fillets
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Brush each filet all over with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Sprinkle evenly all over the cod filets.
- Preheat an air fryer to 400°F.
- Place two filets in the basket. Cook for 5 minutes. Open the air fryer and drizzle 1 teaspoon of lemon juice over each filet. Continue to cook for 3 to 5 more minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of each filet reaches 145 °F. Repeat with the remaining two cod filets.
- Top each fillet with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes
- Choose cod filets that are around the same weight and thickness. This ensures they cook evenly and at the same speed.
- If you have a larger air fryer, you can cook all the filets at once. But don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. Leave some room around and between the fish for the hot air to circulate.
- Preheat the air fryer. The hot air fryer helps to develop a crispy exterior.
- Don’t skip the lemon! A squeeze of lemon juice immediately brightens the flavors. Citrus is a must with seafood in my book.
- Use a different white fish. This recipe also works with haddock, sea bass, grouper, or halibut.
