Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cod Filets about 6 ounces each
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Lightly rinse and pat fish dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
  • Combine the paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Brush each piece of fish with olive oil to coat fish on both sides and then sprinkle to coat with seasoning mixture.
  • Without overlapping, place fish fillets in the Air Fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 350ºF for 6-8 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

Your fish is done when the internal temperature reaches 140-145ºF. To check the internal temperature of your fish, you can use a meat thermometer.
I use a Cosori 5.8 Quart Air Fryer. Cook time may vary depending type of air fryer and thickness of fish. For thinner filets, you can lower cooking times.
 Tartar Sauce is a great choice for adding some additional flavor!
