Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs cod fillets
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Use paper towels to press firmly on all sides of the cod fillets to remove all surface moisture.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Old Bay seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  3. Lightly brush or spray both sides of the fillets with avocado oil, then sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly, pressing it gently into the fish.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Place the fillets in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching. Cook for 8–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
