General tips for air-frying fish:

1. Temperature:

To ensure perfect cooking, use a meat thermometer.
The internal temperature should reach 54-57°C to guarantee safe and juicy fish.

2. Time:

Cooking time varies depending on the thickness and type of fish.
As a general rule, you can expect to cook fish in your air fryer for about 10-15 minutes per inch (2.5 cm) of thickness at 200°C.

3. How do I make sure the fish is cooked to perfection?

A good indicator of whether the fish is done is its internal temperature. It should reach at least 63 degrees Celsius to be fully cooked.
Let the fish rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking. This gives the juices time to redistribute evenly, resulting in more tender and juicy fish.
You can also check whether the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque and glistening.

4. How do I keep the fish from drying out in the air fryer?

To prevent the fish from drying out, consider marinating it before cooking or brushing it with a little oil or butter. You can also cook the fish at a slightly lower temperature for a longer time to retain its juiciness.

With these guidelines and tips, you’re well equipped to cook delicious fish in your air fryer every time.

Bon appétit!
