Servings: 2 people
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 fresh cod fillets about 1-inch thick
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh lemon juice
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a spice rub.
- Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the cod fillets.
- Place the seasoned cod fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Air fry the cod at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. It’s not necessary to flip the fillets halfway through the cooking time.
- Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the fillet – it should easily flake apart.
- Once cooked, remove the cod from the air fryer and let it rest for a minute. Squeeze lemon juice on top. Garnish with fresh parsley and slices of lemon.
Notes
- Use cod fillets that are similar in size, so they cook evenly.
- For easy cleanup, you can line the air fryer basket with parchment paper. If you do, there's no need to spray the basket with oil.
