Ingredients
- 2 mahi mahi fillets
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes.
Prepare the Fillets: Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil, then rub the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly on both sides of the fillets.
Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the seasoned fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they’re not overlapping.
Cook: Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is golden brown on the outside and easily flakes with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Serve: Remove the mahi mahi from the air fryer, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, and serve immediately with your favorite side dish.
Enjoy your perfectly cooked, crispy, and flavorful mahi mahi!
