Equipment

  • air fryer

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • 2 (6 ounce) cod fillets
  • extra virgin olive oil cooking spray
  • 4 lemon slices

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  • Combine the dried parsley, lemon pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and sea salt together in a small bowl and mix until well blended.
  • Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels, then lightly coat the cod with cooking spray. Sprinkle the seasoning blend over the fish, rubbing it over both sides until the fillets are evenly coated.
  • Coat the bottom of the air fryer basket with more cooking spray, then place the cod fillets in. Top each fillet with two lemon slices.
  • Cook for 10-12 minutes until the internal temperature of the cod reaches 145°F or it easily flakes apart with a fork.
