Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • Begin by lightly rinsing and then pat each piece of fish dry with paper towels, then set aside. 
  • In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir together to combine.
  • Brush each filet with olive oil on both sides, or use olive oil spray, and then sprinkle to coat with seasoning mixture.

To confirm doneness, use a fork to confirm fish flakes. The fish should flake easily. Fish should be eaten when the internal temperature reaches 130-135ºF. 
Additional cook time may be needed as cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of fish.
