Nice! Cod in the air fryer is a game-changer — crispy outside, tender inside, and way less oily than pan-frying. Curious how it turned out for you — did you go breaded, seasoned, or plain?
If you’re looking to refine or share the experience, here’s a quick recipe recap or improvement tips depending on how yours turned out:
🔥 Air Fryer Cod (Crispy & Quick)
Basic Recipe:
Ingredients:
-
Cod fillets (thawed & patted dry)
-
Olive oil or cooking spray
-
Salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, lemon juice
-
Optional: breadcrumbs or panko for crunch
Instructions:
-
Preheat Air Fryer: 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
-
Season: Rub fillets with oil and spices. (Optional: coat with breadcrumbs for a crispy crust.)
-
Air Fry: 10–12 minutes at 400°F, flipping halfway. Internal temp should hit 145°F (63°C).
-
Finish: Serve with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or over a salad/grain bowl.
🧩 Common Tweaks:
-
Too dry? Try reducing time by 1–2 minutes or brush with butter/oil before cooking.
-
Not crispy? Add a light panko coating and spray the top before air frying.
-
Fishy smell? A splash of lemon juice before cooking helps tame it.
