Air frying fish has become a staple. It's an easy meal and any piece of fish cooks up perfectly!

Cooking cod in the air fryer is the same way! It creates a flaky cod fillet that's flavorful, fresh, and buttery.

This recipe is made with no breading but can be changed to a crispy breaded recipe or other varieties with my tips below.

A full printable version of this recipe with ingredient measurements is available at the bottom of this post.

STEP ONE: Preheat your air fryer to 370 degrees.

STEP TWO: Mix the melted butter, salt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped dill in a bowl.

STEP THREE: Add one cod loin into the bowl and using your hands, completely coat each piece. Press the garlic lightly into the cod so it doesn't fall off once in the air fryer.

STEP FOUR: Repeat the previous step with the remaining cod loins.

STEP FIVE: Place the fish in the air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry cod fillets for 10 minutes.

STEP SIX: Carefully remove the cod from the air fryer basket and garnish with another squeeze of lemon or a lemon slice and butter if desired then enjoy!

It's simple to tell when air fried cod is done cooking.

Take a fork and use it to flake some of the fish off the corner. If it flakes easily, the cod is done cooking. If it's not flaky, let it cook another 1-2 minutes and try again.

You can also use an Instant Read Thermometer to measure its internal temperature. Cod should be cooked to 145 degrees at its thickest point.

Air fryer cod fish takes about 10 minutes to cook.

I always recommend cooking from fresh fish over cooking from frozen, but it always helps in a pinch!
