  • Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels before cooking. This will help the skin crisp up.
  • Season the cod fillets with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices before cooking. This will help enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before cooking the cod fillets. This will help ensure that the fish cooks evenly.
  • Cook the cod fillets for 10-12 minutes, or until they are cooked through. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
  • Serve the cod fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
