Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley (optional)
  • 1 lemon, sliced (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease the basket.
  2. Season the Cod: Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried parsley.
  3. Air Fry: Place the fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Serve & Enjoy: Remove from the air fryer and serve with lemon slices. Enjoy with a side of veggies, rice, or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • Use fresh or thawed cod fillets for best results.
