Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the halibut fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for approximately 5 minutes.
Once the air fryer is preheated, lightly coat the basket with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated halibut fillets in the air fryer basket, skin side down, making sure they are not overcrowded for even cooking.
Air fry the halibut for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the halibut is cooking, prepare a garnish by mixing chopped parsley and lemon zest in a small bowl.
Once the halibut is cooked, carefully remove it from the air fryer and transfer to a serving plate.
Sprinkle the parsley and lemon zest mixture over the halibut for a fresh finish.
Serve the air-fried halibut immediately, with a wedge of lemon on the side if desired.
