Ingredients
- Cod fillets: 2 (6-8 ounce)
- Olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
- Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- Paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- Dried parsley: 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Step 2: Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. This helps the fish to crisp up nicely.
- Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and dried parsley.
- Step 4: Brush the mixture evenly over both sides of the cod fillets.
- Step 5: Place the cod fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping.
- Step 6: Air fry for 8-12 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets and your air fryer.
Notes
- Store leftover air fryer cod in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- To reheat, lightly mist the cod with water and air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes, or until warmed through, being careful not to overcook it.
- Serve this flaky cod with a vibrant lemon-herb rice or a side of roasted asparagus for a complete and healthy meal.
- For extra flavor, let the cod marinate in the oil and spice mixture for 15-20 minutes before air frying.
