Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets of swai fish thawed if frozen
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or fresh minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon paprika or any favorite seasoning blend
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon for juice and garnishing
  • Substitutions: You can easily swap swai fish for other white fish like tilapia or cod. Olive oil can be replaced with canola oil and if you prefer fresh herbs, feel free to use basil or dill instead of powders!

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Fish: Start by patting the swai fish fillets dry with a paper towel. This step helps in achieving a nice, crispy exterior.
  2. Season: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush or rub the mixture over both sides of the fish fillets.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures even cooking.
  4. Air Fry: Place the seasoned swai fish fillets in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through—this will help them cook evenly.
  5. Check for Doneness: The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and has reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. Squeeze Lemon: Once cooked, drizzle some fresh lemon juice on top to elevate the flavors. Serve hot!
