Serving size

2

Ingredients

  • 2 Cod Fillets (About 1-inch Thick)
  • ½ tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • ½ tsp. Salt
  • ½ tsp. Pepper
  • 1 tbsp. Old Bay Seasoning

Preparation

Step 1

Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

Brush both sides of the cod fillets lightly with olive oil.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Evenly sprinkle the seasoning mixture over both sides of the cod fillets, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 4

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease the air fryer basket with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Place the seasoned cod fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.

Step 6

Cook the cod for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. The cod is done when it turns golden brown, flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the cod from the air fryer and let it rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy!
