Ingredients

• 2 pieces Halibut fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the halibut fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for approximately 5 minutes.

Step 5

Once the air fryer is preheated, lightly coat the basket with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the marinated halibut fillets in the air fryer basket, skin side down, making sure they are not overcrowded for even cooking.

Step 7

Air fry the halibut for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

While the halibut is cooking, prepare a garnish by mixing chopped parsley and lemon zest in a small bowl.

Step 9

Once the halibut is cooked, carefully remove it from the air fryer and transfer to a serving plate.

Step 10

Sprinkle the parsley and lemon zest mixture over the halibut for a fresh finish.

Step 11

Serve the air-fried halibut immediately, with a wedge of lemon on the side if desired.
