Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush both sides of each halibut fillet generously with the marinade, ensuring even coating.
Place the marinated halibut fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
Air fry the halibut fillets for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until the fillets are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C).
Remove the halibut from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables, for a complete meal.
