Description

Here's a straightforward guide on how to make Air Fryer Cajun Snapper:

Ingredients 

  • 4 Snapper fillets
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Olive oil
  • 1 whole Lemon
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper, adjust to taste

Instructions

  • Pat dry the snapper fillets with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the snapper fillets, then generously coat them with Cajun seasoning, ensuring even coverage.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
  • Place the seasoned snapper fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, without overcrowding. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches.
  • Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, flipping halfway through cooking, until the snapper is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cooked Cajun snapper fillets before serving.
  • Serve immediately while hot, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.

Equipment

  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional
