Ingredients:

  • 1 lb cod fillets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the cod fillets under cold water and pat them extremely dry using paper towels, pressing firmly on both sides to remove all surface moisture.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Brush each fillet with olive oil, then generously coat both sides with the Cajun rub, pressing the spices into the flesh.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the fillets in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.
  5. Air fry for 10 minutes until the edges are mahogany-colored and the flesh flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature of 145°F).
