How Long to Air Fry Catfish Fillets

Air fry catfish fillets at 400°F (200°C) for 10-13 minutes. Exact settings, when to shake, and how to tell when it is done.

1. 1

   Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes.

   Arrange the catfish fillets in a single layer with space between pieces. Crowding traps steam and stops browning.

   Air fry for 10 to 13 minutes, shaking or flipping at the 6-minute mark.

   Check the thickest piece with a thermometer. It is done at 145°F.
