My mouth waters just by looking at your gorgeous photos! I had to try this recipe out and it was amazing! My fish came out perfectly cooked!
I’m loving all your tips on cooking in the air fryer! This fish recipe is probably my most favorite air fryer recipe.
Delicious! I used haddock loins.
Do you also use the tray or do you put it right in the basket
Hi Ana, we put the fish right into the non-stick basket for bucket-style air fryers. If you have an oven style air fryer with racks/trays, we would do the same thing. Put the fish on the tray. But sometimes those wire trays or racks stick, so if you have perforated parchment sheets, use that under the fish. This will help with sticking.
Do the filets need to be thawed or can they be cooked from frozen state – just curious
Hi Pat, this recipe is for thawed fish. But if you cook it from frozen, add an additional 5-8 minutes. It all depends on the size of your air fryer. After you cook your first frozen fillet, you’ll know more what timing works best for your size of fish fillet and your specific model of air fryer.
