Ingredients

Cod
4 cod fillets (6 oz each)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper
Lemon Herb Butter
3 tbsp butter, melted
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced

Equipment

  • Instant-Read Meat Thermometer
  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Pat cod fillets completely dry. Brush with olive oil.

  2. 2

    Season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches 145°F.

  4. 4

    Mix melted butter with lemon juice, herbs, and garlic.

  5. 5

    Spoon lemon herb butter over the fish and serve immediately.

💡

Tip: Cod is delicate — don't flip it or it may fall apart. Pat it dry for better browning. The fish is done when it flakes easily but is still moist in the center. Overcooking makes it rubbery. The lemon-herb butter transforms simple cod into something special.
