Description

A quick and flavorful recipe for perfectly cooked Mahi Mahi fillets using an air fryer. Seasoned with a blend of Italian herbs and spices, this dish offers a healthy, crispy exterior while keeping the fish moist and tender inside. Ready in just 15 minutes, it’s an ideal weeknight dinner for seafood lovers.

Ingredients

Mahi Mahi

  • 4-5 Mahi Mahi fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Seasoning Blend

  • 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 black pepper

Garnish (Optional)

  • Freshly chopped parsley
  • Fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400ºF and allow it to preheat fully. This ensures the fish cooks evenly and achieves a nice crust.
  2. Prepare the Fish: Place the Mahi Mahi fillets on a shallow dish or cutting board. Rub both sides of each fillet evenly with olive oil to help the seasoning stick and promote browning.
  3. Mix and Apply Spices: In a small bowl, whisk together Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Evenly rub this spice mixture all over both sides of each fillet for maximum flavor.
  4. Cook in Air Fryer: Place the seasoned fish fillets into the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 400ºF for 10 minutes total, flipping the fillets halfway through at 5 minutes. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, crispy Mahi Mahi.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the thickness of your fillets and your specific air fryer model.
  • For added zest, serve with lemon wedges on the side.
  • You can substitute olive oil with avocado oil for a different flavor profile.
  • Ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to get the best crispiness and even cooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated gently to maintain moisture.
