Directions

Step 1

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, garlic powder, dried dill, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.

Step 3

Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in a shallow dish.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let them sit for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Put the panko breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish.

Step 6

Take each piece of marinated halibut and press it gently into the panko breadcrumbs, coating all sides evenly.

Step 7

Lightly spray both sides of the breaded halibut with olive oil spray to help achieve a golden crust.

Step 8

Place the breaded halibut fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.

Step 9

Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through and the crust is golden brown. Cook time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fish.

Step 10

Once done, remove the halibut from the air fryer and let it rest for a minute.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
