- Pour olive oil over the fish. Then sprinkle garlic powder, salt and pepper over both sides.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper. Place the fillets in the basket.

Notes
- Cooking time will vary on air fryer and thickness of the fish.
- Cod or mahi mahi would be good substitutes for halibut. They are both a flakey white fish with similar density and texture. Although cod would be the most affordable.
- I’m currently using an older air fryer model from Costco. It’s like this model. However, the capacity is small, and the machine take up a lot of space. I’d prefer to have a toaster oven/air fryer. It can be used for multiple purposes and has a larger capacity for cooking or baking. I’ve seen really good reviews on this model.
- Make sure to use two halibut fillets that are about the same size and thickness.
- The air fryer wasn’t preheated so keep that in mind before baking.
- If you have an olive oil spray, you could use that instead of regular olive oil.
- Make sure the fish is cooked until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees. A great way to check if the fish is finished is to make sure it flakes easily. If you follow the directions, you should be fine.
- If you prefer, you can use softened butter or ghee (try my Instant Pot Ghee recipe) instead of olive oil.
- Please note that butter, ghee and ground black pepper are not core elimination stage AIP.
