  • Season the cod fillets generously with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices to enhance their flavor.
  • For a more flavorful experience, consider marinating the cod fillets in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before air frying.
  • Keep an eye on the cod fillets during air frying to prevent overcooking. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets and the power of your air fryer.
  • Serve the air-fried cod immediately with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a refreshing salad.
