Ingredients

2 (6-ounce) cod fillets about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick (see note 1)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning (see note 2)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 400 degress. Pat cod filets dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, combine Cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle filets with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning blend, coating all sides evenly.
Spray air fryer basket with cooking spray. Transfer filets to the basket, ensuring space between the filets to allow air to circulate. Air fry until filets flake easily with a fork or paring knife, about 8 to 10 minutes (the internal temperature should reach 145 degrees), flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Notes

Cod: Substitute halibut or haddock for the cod, ensuring filets are of a silimar size to ensure even cooking. Thaw fish overnight in the refrigerator. To thaw frozen cod quickly, place in a sealed bag under cool running tap water for 20 to 30 minutes.
Spices: Or substitute another spice blend such as Old Bay or Lemon Pepper seasoning.
Yield: This recipe yields two entree-sized filets.
Storage: Store up to 3 to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
