How To Make Halibut In The Air Fryer.

Halibut in the air fryer is such an easy recipe.

Air fryers are becoming one of many modern kitchen's go-to appliances. I've seen them displayed in the big box store, and heard people rave about them on Facebook. And while I am all for using modern technology to make life easier, I just couldn't understand what the fuss was about. What's so different about an air fryer vs any other appliance/method out there?

When I got one, I realized what all the fuss was about. Because... air fryer mozzarella balls and blooming onions.

It cooks things quickly, without heating up your kitchen with a big appliance. It's healthier- no oil is used, yet food can be crisp and juicy inside. And it makes delicious food that tastes infused with the flavor of whatever you're cooking it with. I have used mine non-stop since it arrived, and cooked everything from breakfast to dinner in that thing.

My first meal idea? Fish tacos!

A local market was having a sale on halibut, so I picked up a few filets for dinner. I wanted something easy to make, yet flavorful. And I already had everything on hand for the marinade.

Halibut is one of my favorite fish varieties (next to tilapia) because it's light and flaky, yet still filling. My kids don't like it much (kids!) so this particular filet was all mine!

I brushed both sides with a generous amount of olive oil, and added a nice tablespoon of minced garlic. I also sprinkled in some salt, cumin powder, and chili powder for flavor.

I cooked mine in the air fryer at 400 degrees F for about 5 minutes on each side. It probably could have gone a bit longer to get it crispier- but I was hungry and impatient!

The marinade gave the halibut great flavor, and kept it moist. It made a healthy meal that tasted amazing- perfect for picky kids or adults who are trying to eat well.
