Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 basting brush
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Rinse the cod fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over the cod fillets, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. This ensures even cooking and a crispy exterior for the cod.
- Place the seasoned cod fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure the fillets are not overlapping to allow hot air to circulate freely around them.
- Cook the cod fillets in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes. Flip halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and a crispy finish.
Serving
- Once cooked, remove the cod fillets from the air fryer. Let them rest for a minute before serving. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and parsley for added flavor and visual appeal.
Storage
- To store leftovers, place the cooled cod fillets in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer or oven before serving.
