Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 cod fillets, 4 to 6 ounces each (skinless and boneless, thawed if frozen)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper, more if desired
For Serving:
- 4 lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a seasoning mixture.2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon dried thyme, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper, more if desired
- Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the cod fillets with the seasoned olive oil mixture, making sure they are evenly coated.4 cod fillets, 4 to 6 ounces each
- Place the seasoned cod fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry the cod fillets at 400°F for approximately 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets (see note). Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the cod fillet. The fish should flake easily and appear opaque all the way through when done. The internal temperature should be 145°F when tested with an instant read thermometer. Try not to overcook the cod.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes
- Cod: We prefer thicker fillets, ¾ to 1 inch thick. Thinner pieces seem to have a drier texture and stronger fish flavor. Choose good quality cod. We found that some brands weren't as tender or flavorful.
- Seasoning: The cod can be seasoned any way you prefer. Use pre-mixed seasoning blends or make your own.
- Serving ideas: Air fryer cod is perfect for fish tacos, fish sandwiches, bowls, or wraps. Refer to the post for more suggestions.
