Air Fryer Cod

Air Fryer Cod

This Air Fryer Cod is the absolute best way to cook perfect fish every time! The Cod is seasoned with a quick, flavorful spice rub and it’s tender and flaky in the middle.

This flakey and tender Air Fryer Cod recipe is perfect for making cod without breading. When you need dinner on the table fast, you can have this healthy and tasty fish recipe ready in 15 minutes or less and it can be served with absolutely any side for the perfect meal!

Ingredients Needed:

Cod: you need about one pound of Atlantic Cod cut into 2 filets for this recipe. It is best to purchase fresh, wild caught fish whenever possible. If you can’t find fresh filets, look in the freezer section for frozen cod. It will need to be thawed out completely before air frying.
Olive Oil: I like to coat the fish with olive oil before air frying to add moisture and help the seasonings stick. 
Spice Rub: I like to use a homemade spice rub with a mixture of garlic powder, chili pepper, dry parsley, salt and pepper.

Air Fryer Cod

Atlantic Cod is a healthful type of fish with many dietary benefits. It is high in protein and low in fat, which makes it an excellent protein source. Cod is also high in vitamins and minerals that are essential to bodily functioning. Like most fish, Cod has a good source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

What is an air fryer?

An air fryer is a miniature convection oven. It is a countertop cooking appliance that combines a heating element and a powerful fan to circulate hot air around your food so that it cooks more evenly and efficiently than in a normal oven. Air fryers produce foods that are crispy outside and moist and tender inside. All our air fryer recipe ideas: air fryer page.

This gorgeous Mediterranean Beet Salad with Cucumbers, Feta Cheese, Olives and flavorful Dressing is perfect for any occasion.

Ingredient Notes:
Beets – Use small to medium beets and a variety of colors if available. Read more about the health benefits of beetroot.
Cucumbers – I like to use English cucumbers because they’re thinner and have fewer seeds than regular cucumbers. Read more about the health benefits of cucumber.
Feta Cheese – good feta cheese is a must for this salad.
Kalamata olives – you can use another kind of olive.
Lemon juice – red wine vinegar will work very well too.
Extra virgin olive oil, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
