Air Fryer Cod
Air fryer cod is one of the easiest ways to make a quick fish dinner at home, with cod that cooks up tender and flaky.
Ingredients
- 1 pound cod filets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels, then place them in a shallow bowl or on a plate.
- Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the cod, then season with the salt, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and pepper. Rub the seasoning evenly over both sides of the fillets.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F if your model requires it.
- Place the cod fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving a little space between each piece.
- Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cod is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Serve right away with extra lemon if desired.
Nutrition
Notes
- Pat the cod dry first: Removing extra moisture helps the oil and seasonings stick better and gives the fish a better texture as it cooks.
- Use evenly sized fillets: Cod fillets that are similar in thickness will cook more evenly in the air fryer.
- Do not overcrowd the basket: Leave a little space between each fillet so the air can circulate and cook the fish properly.
- Watch the cook time closely: Cod cooks quickly, so start checking it at the lower end of the time range to keep it from drying out.
- Check for doneness: The cod is ready when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
