This cajun air fryer fish recipe is so quick and easy to make. It delivers juicy, tender fish that is seasoned perfectly and makes a fantastic healthy, gluten-free dinner served with your favorite side dishes.

Ingredients and Substitutions

This recipe is fuss-free with no dipping in flour or dredging in bread crumbs. The only step is to make a seasoning oil with Cajun seasoning and a few extra spices to brush over the fish. This delivers a much lighter main dish that is high in protein in low in carbs.

  • Fresh fish fillets. Use any sustainable white fish. I used hake but halibut, cod, tilapia, bass, grouper, haddock, snapper or catfish will all work well.
  • Olive oil. Vegetable oil like avocado oil is a good substitution.
  • Cajun seasoning/Cajun spice. Most supermarkets will have a cajun spice blend in their spice aisle.
  • Smoked paprika. 
  • Garlic powder. Onion powder can also be used.
  • Fresh lemon juice. 
  • Salt and black pepper.

How to cook air fryer fish

  1. Prepare the fish: Slice the fish into portions then place in the air fryer basket. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice and seasonings together then spoon over the fish. I don’t usually add parchment paper to the basket but you can if you’re worried about the fish sticking. You can also spray the basket with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. Air fry the fish: Air fry for 8-10 minutes at 200°C/400°F until the fish is caramelized on the outside and opaque and juicy on the inside. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish but generally fish is cooked when it flakes apart easily and a fork can be inserted without any resistance. Remove from the air fryer then serve with lemon wedges.
