Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb. cod fillets fresh or frozen or 500 gm.
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- 2 tbsp. Taco seasoning or Cajun spice
- Lemon wedges to serve
Instructions
- Take your cod fillets in a plate. I cut them to fit in my air fryer. Also be mindful that the thinner parts of the fillet will cook quickly. So you will need to remove them quicker than the thicker fillets to avoid overcooking.
- Pat the fillets dry with paper towels. Now toss them with olive oil and seasonings so that they are well covered. I have used taco mix here but you can also make your own with salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasonings and paprika. Or use other spice mixes.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400F or 200C for 4 minutes.
- Place the fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes at 400F or 200C. For the thinner parts of fillet, check after 6 minutes to ensure that they are not getting overcooked.
- The cod is done when it flakes easily with a fork and looks golden brown on the outside. Mine was flaking beautifully and falling apart, as you can see from the images. :)
- Serve hot with lemon slices and a quick side of roasted veggies or a simple salad.
Notes
Pat the cod dry before seasoning. This is very important so that it crisps up well.
This will work with any white fish like halibut, haddock etc.
Place the fillets in a single layer in air fryer basket so that they cook evenly.
Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fillets. Be watchful and remove the thinner fillets earlier as soon as they are done. Thicker pieces will need a couple of extra minutes.
You may use a meat thermometer to check if the fish is cooked through. The thickest part must be at an internal temperature of 145F or 63F.
Store leftovers in the fridge in airtight container for 2 days. Reheat thoroughly or air fry for a few minutes before consuming.
Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of lemon butter before serving for a flavour boost.
