Ingredients
Scale:
4 fillets frozen cod (about 6 ounces each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the Air Fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Rinse the frozen cod fillets under cold water to remove any ice crystals, then pat dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Brush this mixture evenly over both sides of each fillet.
Place the seasoned fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and flakes easily.
Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the fish just before serving, if desired.
Remove the cod from the air fryer, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
