Ingredients
- 4 pieces Halibut fillets
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0 as needed Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel to ensure they cook evenly and develop a nice crust.
Step 4
Brush the mixture evenly onto both sides of the halibut fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 5
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent the fillets from sticking.
Step 6
Place the halibut fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.
Step 7
Cook the fillets in the preheated air fryer for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Carefully remove the halibut from the air fryer and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your choice of heart-healthy sides such as steamed vegetables, quinoa, or a green salad.
