Servings: 2 fillets 1x
Ingredients
- 2 cod fillets, thawed if frozen (4-6 ounces each)
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice or lime juice (¼ of a lemon or lime)
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt
- Avocado oil or olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel.
- Brush each cod fillet with 1 teaspoon of oil, then squeeze the lemon juice over each fillet.
- In a small bowl, combine the paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and the ¼ teaspoon salt. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the fish.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment or lightly mist it with avocado oil spray or olive oil spray. Place the cod in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave space between the pieces of fish.
- Cook for 8 minutes or until the fish fillets are slightly browned at the edges. The exact cook time can vary depending on the air fryer.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
Need more servings? You can easily double this recipe to make more cod, but air fry only two pieces at a time to ensure the air fryer doesn’t get overcrowded and so the fish gets crispy at the edges.
This fish is excellent served with a topping of this avocado salsa.
