Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 frozen cod fillets
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil spray
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer at 355C / 180C for 3 minutes.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Place the frozen cod fillets in the air fryer basket with space between them in an even layer. Spray the top of the fish with a little olive oil and sprinkle on the dried parsley.
  • Air fry the frozen fish fillets at 370F / 190C for 10 minutes. Flip the cod, using tongs and spray lightly with a little more olive oil. Air fry for a further 8 minutes at 370F / 190C.
  • Check for an internal temperature of 145F / 63C at the deepest part of the cod with a meat thermometer. Air fry for longer, if required.

Notes

  • The herbs are optional, so leave out if you prefer.
  • Use cod fillets that are roughly the same size for an even cook time.
  • Be sure to spray the air fryer basket and cod fillets with a little olive oil. This helps prevent the fish from sticking to the basket, and also from drying out.
  • Don't be tempted to air fry at a higher temperature for a shorter period of time! I've tried this on a few recipe tests, and it made the cod very dry on the edges.
  • To be sure it is cooked through, check for an internal temperature of 145F at the deepest part of the fish with a meat thermometer. The fish should be white and easily flaked with a fork throughout.
  • Nutritional information is auto-generated and should be considered to be an estimate.
