Ingredients

  • Halibut
  • Neutral oil or olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Fresh cracked black pepper
  • Optional: lemon wedges
  • Optional: fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or thyme)
  • Air fryer
  • Paper towels
  • Fish spatula or tongs

Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (204°C) if required.
  2. Pat halibut fillets completely dry with paper towels.
  3. Lightly coat with oil and season with salt and fresh cracked pepper.
  4. Place halibut in the air fryer basket in a single layer with space between pieces.
  5. Air fry for 8–10 minutes depending on thickness (about 8–10 minutes per inch guideline).
  6. Check for doneness — fish should flake easily while remaining moist and tender.
  7. Remove when internal temperature reaches 125–130°F (52–54°C).
  8. Rest briefly; residual heat will finish cooking.
