Description

EASY air fryer mahi mahi recipe! Made with just 3 ingredients and can be seasoned so many ways! Cook mahi mahi in air fryer right from frozen.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 6-oz. frozen mahi mahi filets
  • olive oil
  • lemon pepper seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F.
  2. Spritz mahi mahi with olive oil spritzer and season with lemon pepper on both sides.
  3. Lay down piece of parchment paper on bottom of air fryer basket and place fish on top.
  4. Air fry at 400 degrees F for 12-14 minutes, or until cooked through. Edges will be golden brown, flesh will be white, and the fish will flake easily when done cooking

Notes

  • Cooking time is frozen mahi mahi. If using thawed fish, decrease cooking time to 8-10 minutes.
  • Cook until fish reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. 
  • Storage: Store any leftover mahi mahi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Gently reheat the fish in a hot pan or skillet or 350-degree F air fryer, just until warmed through so you don’t overcook it. Microwaving is not recommended.
  • Ingredient notes: Use high-quality fish for best results.
  • Special tools: An air fryer is obviously a must, an olive oil spritzer is awesome to have (though not mandatory), and a meat thermometer is also a must!
  • Serve with: A simple veggie (haricot verts, or air fryer broccoli) and a simple carb (garlic bread or rice) is all you need.
