Ingredients
For the Fish:
– 2 white fish fillets – cod, tilapia, basa, or haddock work best
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 lemon, sliced into thin rounds
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp paprika
– 1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
– 1/2 tsp garlic powder
– 1/2 tsp chili flakes – optional for kick
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/4 tsp black pepper
– Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat
Preheat to 200°C / 400°F for 3 minutes.
2. Season the fish
Pat fish fillets dry with paper towel.
Rub both sides with olive oil and minced garlic.
Mix paprika, oregano, garlic powder, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle generously over both sides of fish.
3. Add lemon
Place fish in air fryer basket. Top each fillet with 2-3 lemon slices.
4. Air fry
Cook at 200°C / 400°F for 10-12 minutes.
Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and looks golden on top. Thicker fillets may need 2-3 more minutes.
5. Serve
Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top. Garnish with parsley.
Goes great with rice, salad, or roasted veggies.
Pro Tips:
– Don’t overcook or fish will get dry. White fish cooks fast
– Extra flavor: Add 1 tsp melted butter on top before serving
