  • Total Time: 20-22 minutes
  • Yield: 4-5 servings

Ingredients

Fish

  • 4-5 Mahi Mahi fillets

Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Seasoning Mix and Coat the Fillets: In a small bowl, combine Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush each mahi mahi fillet with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the seasoning mixture over both sides of each fillet.
  3. Arrange Fillets in Air Fryer Basket: Place the seasoned mahi mahi fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd to allow proper air circulation for crispness.
  4. Cook the Fish: Air fry the fillets at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Flip the fillets halfway through cooking for even browning.
  5. Serve: Carefully remove the mahi mahi from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite sides or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added brightness.

Notes

  • Ensure fillets are of even thickness for uniform cooking.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly for thicker or thinner fillets.
  • Serve with fresh vegetables, rice, or a light salad for a balanced meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days but are best enjoyed fresh.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for perfect doneness.
