Air fryer Mahi Mahi
Description
This is a keto-friendly low carb air fryer mahi mahi recipe that uses no breading or flour. Easy and so tasty.
Ingredients
- 1.1 lb mahi mahi fish fillets or 500 gm.
- 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp. cajun spice or fajita seasoning or see notes for other spice rub suggestions
- ½ tsp. pepper optional
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice for garnish optional
Directions
- I used a large filleted fish of about 1.1 lb and cut it into smaller fillets. Pat them dry and keep aside.
- Assemble 2 tsp. olive oil, 2 tbsp. Cajun spice or fajita seasoning, ½ tsp. pepper (optional if you like more heat) and salt to taste. Mix well.
- Brush the fillets with oil and apply the spice rub all over the fish. You may keep aside for 15 minutes or cook right away.
- Preheat air fryer at 360F or 180C for 4 minutes.
- Brush air fryer basket with oil and lay the prepared fillets so that they have ample space between them.
- Air fry for 10-14 minutes at 360F or 180C till they are flaky and well cooked inside. You can check with a fork to be sure.
- A trick I use is to remove the thinner or smaller fillets first as they cook faster and cook some more for thicker or larger fillets.
- Take care not to overcook the fish or it will get rubbery.
- Sprinkle lemon juice on top and serve hot. It is delicious. You can serve with sautéed veggies, salad and/or some rice.
