Creating Moist Air Fryer Cod Fish is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare the Cod: Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
3. Season the Fish: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over both sides of the cod fillets.
4. Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the seasoned cod for an added burst of flavor.
5. Place in Air Fryer: Arrange the cod fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking.
6. Cook the Cod: Air fry the cod for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the cod has reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove the cod from the air fryer and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
