Rockfish is a great option if you’re looking for an easy and healthy seafood dish. And you can make it even easier by cooking it in your air fryer. Here are the ingredients you’ll need to get started.

  • Rockfish Fillets: Choose fillets between 5 ounces to 10 ounces that are about the same size, so they cook up at the same time.
  • Seasonings: I used salt, black pepper, garlic powder, lemon pepper, and onion powder.

  • Lemon: Serve with lemon wedges

Pro Tips:

Fresh or Frozen: You can use either fresh, frozen, or partially thawed fish fillest for this recipe. The cooking time will vary slightly.

Crowding: For best results leave plenty of space around the rockfish, so it cooks up to perfection. Remember an air fryer works by hot air circulating around the food, cooking it to perfection. When you crowd the air fryer, the hot air will be limited, causing your food to be raw in some places and overcooked in other places.

Flipping: Depending on the air fryer that you own, you may need to flip your fish halfway during the cooking process. This will enable both sides to be fully cooked.

Sticking: To prevent sticking you can either spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray, use a disposable air fryer liner or use a reusable air fryer liner.

Timing: Since every air fryer cooks at a different rate it’s advised that you watch your fish as it cooks up, so you don’t end up with an overcooked or burnt piece of fish. Once you can easily flake your fish with a fork, you can remove it.
