Ingredients and Substitutions
This recipe is fuss-free with no dipping in flour or dredging in bread crumbs. The only step is to make a seasoning oil with Cajun seasoning and a few extra spices to brush over the fish. This delivers a much lighter main dish that is high in protein in low in carbs.
Fresh fish fillets. Use any sustainable white fish. I used hake but halibut, cod, tilapia, bass, grouper, haddock, snapper or catfish will all work well. Olive oil. Vegetable oil like avocado oil is a good substitution. Cajun seasoning/Cajun spice. Most supermarkets will have a cajun spice blend in their spice aisle. Smoked paprika. Garlic powder. Onion powder can also be used. Fresh lemon juice. Salt and black pepper.
How to cook air fryer fish
Can I make this ahead?
The fish can be cooked and cooled then transferred to an airtight container and kept in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer. Same goes for any leftovers. I wouldn’t recommend freezing the cooked fish but fresh fish can be brushed with the cajun oil and frozen for up to 3 months before cooking.
