This cajun air fryer fish recipe is so quick and easy to make. It delivers juicy, tender fish that is seasoned perfectly and makes a fantastic healthy, gluten-free dinner served with your favourite side dishes.
INGREDIENTS:
- White fish fillets. Use any sustainable white fish such as Barramundi, Snapper, Flathead, Whiting, Flounder, Dory, Ling - frozen or fresh. Tip! Frozen fillets should be thawed prior to cooking.
- Olive oil. Avocado oil is also a good substitution.
- Cajun seasoning/Cajun spice. Most supermarkets will have a cajun spice blend in their spice aisle.
- Smoked paprika.
- Garlic powder. Onion powder can also be used.
- Fresh lemon juice.
- Salt and black pepper.
METHOD:
- Prepare the fish: Slice the fish into 100 grams portions then place in the air fryer basket. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice and seasonings together then spoon over the fish. Option to add parchment paper to the basket to prevent fish sticking to the basket. You can also spray the basket with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Air fry the fish: Air fry for 8-10 minutes at 200°C until the fish is caramelised on the outside and opaque and juicy on the inside. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish but generally fish is cooked when it flakes apart easily and a fork can be inserted without any resistance. Remove from the air fryer then serve with lemon wedges.
