How to make Air Fryer Halibut

1. Put the fish fillets on a plate and pat dry with a paper towel.

2. Pour olive oil over the fish. Then sprinkle garlic powder and salt over both sides.

3. Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper. Place the fillets in the basket.

4. Bake for 7-10 minutes at 350 degrees. When finished the fish should flake when poked with a fork. Serve immediately.

Tips for making the BEST Air Fryer Halibut

• Cooking time will vary on air fryer and thickness of the fish.
• Cod or mahi mahi would be good substitutes for halibut. They are both a flakey white fish with similar density and texture. Although cod would be the most affordable.
• I’m currently using an older air fryer model from Costco. It’s like this model. However, the capacity is small, and the machine take up a lot of space. I’d prefer to have a toaster oven/air fryer. It can be used for multiple purposes and has a larger capacity for cooking or baking. I’ve seen really good reviews on this model.
• Make sure to use two halibut fillets that are about the same size and thickness.
• The air fryer wasn’t preheated so keep that in mind before baking.

Can you air fry halibut?

Yes. The air fryer is essentially a tiny little oven so you’re essentially baking the fish. The same way you’d bake fish in the oven, it’s just faster. If you’re looking for a good baked fish recipe, try this Baked Fish with Cauliflower Rice Pilaf Sheet Pan Meal.

Why You’ll Love Halibut in the Air Fryer

Besides it being delicious, it’s a super simple recipe, makes enough for two (perfect if you’re just cooking for yourself or you and your spouse and don’t want leftover), uses simple spices that are probably already in your pantry and can be on the table in 15 minutes. I also have an Air Fryer Radishes and AIP Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts recipes.

How long do I air fry Halibut?

Fish cooks quickly so you shouldn’t cook your fillets any longer than 10 minutes. The recipe says cook the fillets for 7-10 minutes as it depends on the thickness of the halibut. And I didn’t preheat the air fryer before baking either so keep that in mind.
