Air Fryer Cod is a super easy dinner recipe for busy weeknights! It requires minimal prep and cleanup, simple ingredients, and cooks in about 8 minutes.
Ingredients
1 pound cod fillets
2 teaspoons lemon juice bottled or fresh
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 350 °F and pat each side of the cod fillets with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Combine the olive oil and the lemon juice in a small bowl. Brush each side of the cod fillets with the olive oil. Brush the inside of the air fryer basket with the remaining oil to help with sticking (optional).
In a small dish, mix the paprika, salt, garlic powder, and pepper and rub the seasonings on each side of the fish.
Place the cod in the air fryer basket or tray and cook for 8 minutes, until a meat thermometer reaches 145 °F and the fish easily flakes.
