Sure! Here’s a simple recipe for cooking frozen cod in an air fryer:
Ingredients:
- Frozen cod fillets
- Olive oil or cooking spray
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Lemon wedges (optional)
- Tartar sauce or any desired dipping sauce (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- While the air fryer is preheating, remove the frozen cod fillets from their packaging and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Lightly brush the cod fillets with olive oil or coat them with cooking spray. This will help them crisp up in the air fryer.
- Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add any additional seasonings or herbs you prefer.
- Place the seasoned cod fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overlapping.
- Cook the cod fillets in the air fryer for about 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets and the brand of your air fryer, so keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
- Once the cod fillets are golden brown and cooked through, remove them from the air fryer.
- Serve the air-fried cod fillets hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce or your preferred dipping sauce.
Notes:
- It’s important to preheat the air fryer to ensure even cooking and crispy results.
- Make sure to pat the frozen cod fillets dry before seasoning and cooking to prevent excess moisture in the air fryer.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow proper airflow and even cooking.
- Adjust the cooking time if your cod fillets are thicker or thinner than average. Thicker fillets may require a few extra minutes, while thinner fillets may cook more quickly.
- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and herbs to customize the flavor of the cod fillets.
- The lemon wedges add a fresh citrusy touch to the dish, and tartar sauce complements the flavors well. However, you can use any other preferred sauce for dipping, or enjoy the cod fillets as they are.
Enjoy your air-fried frozen cod!
