Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 2 cod fillets 1" thick.
1 Tbsp Extra virgin Olive oil or Avocado oil
½ tsp Salt to taste
½ tsp Pepper to taste
1 Tbsp Seasoning I used Old Bay seasoning.
You can also try it with lemon pepper seasoning, or cajun spice.
Prep cod fillets: Brush both sides of the cod fillets with oil or melted butter and season it with your preferred herbs and spices. I used Old Bay seasoning. You can also use garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper for seasoning.

Preheat: Let cod marinate and absorb spices and herbs for 5 min. In the meantime preheat the air fryer to 400°. Then, grease the air fryer basket with oil or cooking spray.
Air fry: Place the cod fillets in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 min (depending on thickness) or until it turns golden brown and crispy. Flip the fillets halfway through the cooking time to ensure it cooks evenly on both sides. Use a meat thermometer to check if the internal temperature of the fish has reached 145°.

Prepare the dipping sauce: While the cod is cooking, prepare the dipping sauce. You can make tartar sauce by mixing ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tsp finely chopped pickles (or sweet pickle relish), 1 tsp of lemon juice, ½ tsp of Dijon or yellow mustard and pinch of salt.
Or you can also make a healthy Avocado Cilantro Dipping sauce by mixing avocado, lime juice, garlic, and salt in a blender. Blend it until it becomes smooth and creamy.
