Tips:

  • Choose fresh cod fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Pat the cod fillets dry before cooking: This will help the cod cook evenly and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Season the cod fillets liberally with salt and pepper: This will help enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit: This will help ensure that the cod cooks quickly and evenly.
  • Cook the cod fillets for 8-10 minutes, or until they are cooked through: Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  • Serve the cod fillets immediately with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for cod include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and tartar sauce.
