How long to cook fish in the air fryer
The length of time to cook fish in the air fryer depends on a few factors. The size of the fish, the temperature at which it is cooked, if the air fryer was preheated or not, the brand of air fryer used and the thickness of the fish (fillets or whole fish)
I usually cook my fish at 400°F / 200°C for 10 to 12 mins in a non preheated air fryer. If you preheat it will likely get ready in 8 to 10 mins.
Air Fryer Yum’s Pro Tip! Air fryer temperatures may vary depending on size, make and model. When making a recipe for the first time, start with less time, check for doneness then add more time as needed.
