Description
Easy and Delicious Air Fryer Cod is a quick, healthy seafood dinner made with simple pantry spices. The air fryer creates a lightly crisp outside while keeping the cod tender and flaky inside, making this recipe perfect for busy weeknights or light family meals.
Ingredients
1 lb cod fillets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 lemon cut into wedges
Instructions
1. Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture
2. Brush both sides of the cod with olive oil
3. Season evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley
4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes
5. Place cod fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket
6. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish flakes easily with a fork
7. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with lemon wedges
Notes
Pat the cod completely dry before seasoning for the best texture
Thicker fillets may need an extra 1 to 2 minutes of cooking time
Reheat leftovers in the air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes to maintain flakiness
