Notes
I tend to toss all of the marinade ingredients into a clean jar, seal, and shake for easy prep and cleanup. Make extra and use over the next few days.
Please do make sure that each fillet is evenly coated with the marinade to make sure they are fully flavored and brown evenly. I tend to use a pastry brush to do this.
This is a great weeknight meal so if you're cooking a bigger amount with multiple fillets, do cook them in batches if your air fryer isn't large enough. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and affect the texture.
