Equipment

  • 1 air fryer
  • 1 mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

Cod Fillets

  • 4 cod fillets

Herb Mixture

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, parsley, dill, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Coat each fillet evenly with the herb mixture.
  • Set the air fryer to 400°F and preheat for 3 minutes.
  • Place the fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.

Cooking

  • Cook for 10-12 minutes until the cod is flaky and has a golden crust. Check doneness by ensuring the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Serving

  • Transfer the fillets to a serving platter. Garnish with additional fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges.

Storage

  • Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes before serving.
