Different Types of White Fish to Air Fry
There’s so many different types of white fish that you can use for this air fryer recipe. Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the fish, so you’ll have to adjust timing a bit. Also, different air fryer models cook differently. For example, cod and halibut are thicker than tilapia so you’ll have to cook cod and halibut a little longer. Also, it depends on how well done you like your seafood. We suggest starting with our suggested time for 8 minutes. Check the fish and if you like it more cooked through, then cook it for a few more minutes. After your first batch in your air fryer, you’ll know what your favorite cooking time is for your fish.

Made this for the first time tonight. Always nervous to try a recipe that doesn’t have any ratings but thought I’d give it a shot. Found some fresh wild Halibut at Frazier Farms and didn’t know how I should prepare it. As a mom of 4 kiddos with some picky eaters I’m trying to find some healthy meals they will also eat. This was super easy to make and absolutely delicious. My picky eaters wanted seconds! Highly recommend and will be making again in the near future! I forgot to add the lemon but it tasted fine without it. I opted to put a small bit of pesto sauce on mine before eating it.
That’s awesome Jolita! So glad your kids enjoyed this recipe and happy that it was easy for you. The addition of pesto sounds amazing. Thanks so much!
