Air frying mahi mahi is a great way to cook this delicious fish with a crispy exterior and moist interior. Here’s a simple recipe to make air fryer mahi mahi:
Ingredients:
- 2 mahi mahi fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:

- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a spice rub.
