Air Fryer Keto White Fish With Lemon Pepper
There's so many possibilities to this recipe. Air Fry whatever flat white fish you want and choose your favorite spices. If you’re cooking a thicker fish like halibut or cod, just add a few minutes extra cooking time. To avoid sticking and tearing of the fish, we like to use a perforated silicone mat or perforated parchment/baking paper made for air fryers.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces (340 g) tilapia filets , or other white fish (2 filets-6 ounces each)
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) lemon pepper seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) onion powder , optional
- sea salt , to taste
- fresh cracked black pepper , to taste
- fresh chopped parsley , optional
- lemon wedges , optional
Instructions
- Pre-heat Air Fryer at 380°F/193°C for 5 minutes.
- Gently rinse and pat dry the fish filets. Spray or coat with olive oil spray and season with garlic powder, lemon pepper, and/or onion power, salt and pepper. Repeat for both sides.
- Prevent sticking: To help minimize the fish from tearing and sticking during flipping, lay perforated silicone mat or air fryer parchment paper inside base of air fryer. Lightly spray the liner (if not using a liner, spray enough olive oil spray at the base of the air fryer basket to make sure fish does not stick).
- Lay the fish on top of the liner or paper. Make sure the filets are not overlapping. Optional, add lemon wedges to air fryer if desired.
- Air Fry at 380°F/193°C for about 6-12 minutes, or until fish can be flaked with a fork or to your liking. Timing will depend on how thickness of the filets, how cold the filets are, & individual preference.
- (optional) Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm with lemon wedges.
If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
