Description
A cozy seafood dish that’s easy to make, featuring tender and flaky orange roughy with a crispy exterior, perfect for fall.
Ingredients
- 2 orange roughy fillets (about 6-8 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried dill (or your favorite herb)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep your fillets: Rinse the orange roughy fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Make the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, zest, minced garlic, paprika, dill, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the fish: Place the orange roughy fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.
- Cook the fillets: Place the marinated fillets in the air fryer basket and air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnish and serve: Carefully remove the fillets from the air fryer and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top.
Notes
Letting the fish marinate enhances flavor; use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect cooking at 145°F (63°C). Avoid overcrowding the basket.
