Instructions

  1. Remove fish from the fridge, inspect it for any bones, and let it sit on the counter for an hour.
  2. Mix the RUB ingredients in a bowl.
  3. Rub each fillet with olive oil and after that the dry rub mixture.
  4. Place fillets in the basket of the air fryer.
  5. Set air fryer at 390 degrees for 7 minutes if the filets are 1-1/2-inches thick.
  6. When the timer goes off, check fillets with a fork to make sure they are done to your desired doneness. If needed cook a few minutes longer. Cooking time will vary based on the temperature of the fish and the size. It is better to set the air fryer for a little less time and add a few more minutes if needed, to avoid overcooking the fish.
