Crispy Air Fryer Cod
Description
Crispy Air Fryer Cod utilizes fresh cod fillets seasoned with salt and seasoning salt, then cooked in an air fryer at 400 °F. Butter and lemon slices placed on top enhance the mild flavor of the cod and add richness and brightness. The cod cooks through to the recommended internal temperature of 145 °F, yielding a tender, flaky fish.
The air fryer ensures a crisp edge without soaking the fish in oil, allowing a cleaner taste and a lighter texture than traditional frying. The lemon slices infuse a fresh citrus aroma, complementing the buttery richness from the melted butter during cooking.
This cod is suitable as a standalone main dish or can be paired with vegetables or grains for a balanced meal. Its straightforward seasoning keeps the natural fish flavor front and center, making it a practical and approachable seafood option.
