Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Halibut fillets
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel to ensure they cook evenly and develop a nice crust.
Brush the mixture evenly onto both sides of the halibut fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent the fillets from sticking.
Place 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 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Carefully remove the halibut from the air fryer and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of heart-healthy sides such as steamed vegetables, quinoa, or a green salad.
