If you decide to use breading, be sure and spray it with olive oil spray (paid link) before air frying it to get the maximum crispness. You can cook the fish in the air fryer with or without breading. Normally I like to do grilled halibut on our Big Green Egg but if you don’t want to go to all of the work of getting the grill ready, the air fryer is a great way to cook fish without all of the oil.

Why use the air fryer to cook fish? It’s healthy! Crispy fish in the air fryer without breading. And the bad fish smell in the air fryer and kitchen? Keep reading and you’ll see how to stop that. The potential lasting fish smell in the kitchen was also a huge concern – enough to keep me from cooking it.īut after moving to the Pacific Northwest, and realizing we have an abundance of fresh fish, it was only a matter of time before I decided to try cooking it at home. Even then I would only order it out at a restaurant as I was worried about how to cook it. For the longest time actually I thought I didn’t even like fish – that is until I actually had fresh fish.

My idea of fish was frozen fish sticks and tuna casserole on Fridays during Lent. I didn’t grow up in a house where we ate fresh fish. Because the halibut is low in calories and points, you can afford to dress it up a bit with a few tablespoons of Creamy Parmesan Sauce and still be on track! Cooking fish can be intimidatingĬooking fish was intimidating at first for me. Using the air fryer to cook fish is super quick and easy! Serve the air fryer halibut over arugula and wild rice.

This healthy air fryer halibut is slightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
