Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil and lemon juice. Stir in garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Brush both sides of each halibut fillet with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
Place the panko breadcrumbs on a plate and lightly press each halibut fillet into the breadcrumbs to coat them evenly on all sides.
Arrange the coated halibut fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd them for even cooking.
Air fry the halibut for about 10-12 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time, until the fish is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Check for doneness by ensuring the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the halibut from the air fryer and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
