Ingredients

Halibut
4 halibut fillets (6 oz each, 1-inch thick)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon zest
Salt and pepper
Herb Topping
3 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp capers, drained
2 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp fresh dill
Juice of 1 lemon

Equipment

  • Instant-Read Meat Thermometer
  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Pat halibut dry. Brush with olive oil. Season with lemon zest, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes until fish is opaque and flakes easily (145°F).

  3. 3

    While fish cooks, melt butter in a small pan. Add garlic and capers, cook 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Remove from heat, add parsley, dill, and lemon juice.

  5. 5

    Spoon herb-caper butter over halibut and serve.

💡

Tip: Halibut is a premium fish — don't overcook it. It should be just opaque in the center. The caper-herb butter adds briny, herby richness that complements the mild fish beautifully. Buy thick fillets (1 inch+) for the best results.
