Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F. While air fryer is preheating, rinse and pat dry fish.
- Coat filets with olive oil. Then cover the filets (front and back) with seasonings and place in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cooked through and an internal temperature reaches 137°F.
- Remove cooked fish from the air fryer basket and place on a plate. Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the fish and top each piece with a tablespoon of butter. Serve immediately!
Notes
Storage: For the best results, keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat: Use the air fryer again, preheated to 375°F, and cook for a few minutes until heated through.
Cooking time: Our fish was cooked in about 9 minutes. Depending on the thickness of the fish, it is best to check at 8 minutes for doneness. Or use an instant-read thermometer to make sure the internal temp is 137°F.
Swap the seasonings: If you have blackened seasoning or Cajun seasoning, you can substitute it for the paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper for a different flavor!
