How To Make Air Fryer Cod With Creamy Mustard Sauce

Start by placing your cod filet in the air fryer basket or tray, both greased with olive oil, so the fish doesn’t stick.

Then season your fish with salt, pepper, lemon juice. Rub the olive oil over the fish.

Place in your air fryer oven at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, increase the heat to 400 degrees F for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a small saucepan, place your butter, heavy cream, mustard, and salt. Mix well, and simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes. When the sauce starts to thicken, remove it from heat.

Tips and Tricks to Making Fried Fish

These can easily be made on the Blackstone Griddle or in the Oven. Both of these methods would work. If you want to bake the fish, you can cook it in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F, for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until it’s fully cooked.
You can add any seasonings that you wish. I went with simple seasonings, since the sauce has a lot of flavor.
This sauce will be great on grilled chicken, pork chops, and salmon.
Do not over crowd the basket, otherwise the cod will not get perfectly cooked. Remember an air fryer works, by the hot air spinning around the fish, perfectly cooking it up.
This fish recipe will work with any fish, including snapper, tilapia, bass, and haddock.
