I’m sure that following testing this fish fillet in the air fryer you’ll never want to do it any other way. Firstly because it is delicious, secondly because it is ready very quickly and, lastly, it is not messy! And what regarding the seasoning? Perfect in just the right way!
Delicious fish fillet
Without a doubt, a well-done fish fillet makes any meal more delicious. But at the same time, it is not always easy to define the best preparation method to make it tasty and juicy.
I confess that I don’t really enjoy grilling or even frying, because of the smell that fills the house. That’s why I always made it in the oven, like this buttery and delicious version.
But following arriving at this preparation method, using the air fryer, I confess to you that it will be difficult to want to do it any other way as it is so practical.
What fish to choose?
The truth is that it doesn’t matter which fish you choose. This recipe will certainly work with both freshwater and saltwater fish.
My only preference is to always opt for a fresh version, because I believe it tastes better. But I know that’s not always an option.
Every time I tested it I did it with fillets, but you can definitely use steaks too.
I don’t have an air fryer, what do I do?
First of all, I warn you: having an air fryer makes everyday life a little easier. And it doesn’t even have to be the most expensive versions, for years I had one of the cheapest on the market and it always served me very well.
But, if even with that argument you don’t want to have one, that’s okay! My tip for you is to prepare this fish in the oven. Just like when preparing it in an oil-free fryer, I recommend placing your fillets on baking paper or non-stick paper and using a temperature slightly higher than that indicated below.
The cooking time should stay very close, but you may not be able to brown it as much as in the air fryer. But it will also be delicious
