1/2
teaspoon
garlic powder
1/8
teaspoon
cayenne
Kosher salt to taste

2
small pats of butter or plant-based butter alternative
2
slices
of lemon
fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Pat the cod dry then season with garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper.
Add a small pat of butter or butter alternative on top of each piece of cod.
Place the lemon slices on top of each piece of cod then set in the air fryer trays or basket depending on model.
Air fry at 400°F for 15 minutes for cod loin or 12 minutes for thinner cod filets until fish is cooked through yet tender and flaky.

*Cod loin or cod filets both work for this recipe. Cod loin is thicker and requires a slightly longer cooking time than thinner filets.
