Here’s a simple way to cook cod in an air fryer—it turns out flaky inside and lightly crispy outside. 🐟✨
Ingredients
- 2 cod fillets
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp lemon juice
- Optional: breadcrumbs or Parmesan for extra crispiness
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (360°F) for about 3–5 minutes.
- Pat the cod dry with paper towels.
- Brush with olive oil on both sides.
- Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- If you want a crispy coating, lightly sprinkle breadcrumbs or Parmesan on top.
- Place the cod fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook for 8–10 minutes, depending on thickness, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Drizzle lemon juice over the fish before serving.
Serving Ideas
- With roasted vegetables
- Over rice or quinoa
- In fish tacos 🌮
- With mashed potatoes
If you want, I can also give you:
- Air fryer breaded cod (like fish & chips)
- Lemon garlic cod in air fryer
- Frozen cod in air fryer (no thawing needed).
