Air Fryer Chilean Sea Bass with Lemon and Herbs

This recipe captures the delicate flavors of Chilean sea bass with a simple yet elegant lemon and herb crust, all cooked to crispy perfection in the air fryer.

Ingredients:

1. 2 Chilean sea bass fillets (about 6 ounces each)
2. 1 tablespoon olive oil
3. 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
4. 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
5. 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
6. 1/4 teaspoon salt
7. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8. 1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
9. Fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, or chives), for garnish (optional)

How to Do It:

• Warm up your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). You can use paper towels to dry the sea bass pieces. Olive oil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper should all be mixed together in a small bowl.
• Spread the mixture out on both sides of the sea bass pieces. Spread the sea bass pieces out in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
• Make sure they don’t touch. Put lemon slices on top of the small pieces of sea bass.
• The fish should be air-fried for 10 to 12 minutes, or until it’s fully cooked and flaky.
• Add fresh herbs as a garnish if you want, and serve right away. For a thicker crust, coat the sea bass pieces in a flour and spice mix first, then add the olive oil mix.
• If your sea bass pieces are more than an inch thick, you might need to add a few minutes to the cooking time. Don’t put too many things in the air fryer basket at once, or the fish might not cook properly.
• You can use rosemary, pepper, chili powder, or any other herb or spice instead of oregano and thyme.
• You could serve roasted veggies, couscous, or quinoa with the sea bass.
