Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which ensures a crispy exterior.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon zest, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush both sides of the halibut fillets with the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
Arrange the halibut fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.
Cook the fillets in the preheated air fryer for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the cooked halibut from the air fryer and transfer to plates.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
Enjoy your crispy and delicious air fried halibut immediately, paired with your favorite sides.
