Air fryer Mahi Mahi

Step 1

I used a large filleted fish of about 1.1 lb and cut it into smaller fillets. Pat them dry and keep aside.

Step 2

Assemble 2 tsp. olive oil, 2 tbsp. Cajun spice or fajita seasoning, ½ tsp. pepper (optional if you like more heat) and salt to taste. Mix well.

Step 3

Brush the fillets with oil and apply the spice rub all over the fish. You may keep aside for 15 minutes or cook right away.

Step 4

Preheat air fryer at 360F or 180C for 4 minutes.

Step 5

Brush air fryer basket with oil and lay the prepared fillets so that they have ample space between them.

Step 6

Air fry for 10-14 minutes at 360F or 180C till they are flaky and well cooked inside. You can check with a fork to be sure.

Step 7

A trick I use is to remove the thinner or smaller fillets first as they cook faster and cook some more for thicker or larger fillets.

Step 8

Take care not to overcook the fish or it will get rubbery.

Step 9

Sprinkle lemon juice on top and serve hot. It is delicious. You can serve with sautéed veggies, salad and/or some rice.
