Servings: 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning We use Old Bay.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 ½ pounds mahi mahi filets
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the seasonings and set aside.1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- If you're using fresh or previously frozen filets, pat them dry with a paper towel. Make sure to feel for any small bones and remove those before adding the oil and seasoning blend. If you're using frozen filets, skip to the next step.1 ½ pounds mahi mahi filets
- Brush all sides of the filets with oil then sprinkle well with the seasoning blend.2 tablespoons avocado oil
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. If using, add a parchment paper lining and place the fish filets into the air fryer basket in an even layer.
- Cook for 8 minutes or until a timer alerts you that it’s time to flip the filets. Using a spatula, carefully turn the fish to the opposite side and cook for an additional 2 to 5 minutes. For frozen filets, you’ll need to add a couple of extra minutes.
- The fish is finished cooking when it flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F on an instant-read thermometer. The mahi mahi shouldn't appear dry or tough.
- Serve with lemon wedges or tartar sauce.
