    How long to cook Trout in air fryer

    The trouts got ready in 12 mins at 400°F / 200°C in my non preheated Cosori air fryer. However certain factors may affect the length of time it takes to cook foods in the air fryer. Find some below.

    • Preheating: If you preheat, expect these to cook a couple of minutes faster than it did in this post since I didn’t preheat to cook mine.
    • Temperature: I cooked this air fryer trouts at 400°F / 200°C. If you cook at a lower temp, like 350°F / 180°C you will likely need to add more time.
    • Air fryer brand: Some brands like Ninja tend to cook hotter than some other air fryers. Keep an eye on it to ensure the fish doesn’t overcook.

    Air fryer trouts keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To make ahead or store leftovers, all you need to do is to let the fish cool down completely then transfer to a clean and dry meal prep bowl and pop into the refrigerator.

    Air fried trouts can be frozen too. Transfer cooked and cooled fish into air tight containers and freeze for up to a month.

    FAQs

    Here you’ll find answers to common questions about this recipe. If your question isn’t answered, please leave us a comment below and we’ll gladly answer them.

    What is the internal temp for fish?

    Wondering what temperature fish should be cooked to for safe consumption? The internal temp as recommended by the FDA is 145°F / 63°C. This is what is referred to as the fish internal temp.

    How to know when trout is cooked

    Trout is done when the internal temp reaches 145°F / 63°C. If you don’t have a digital meat thermometer (highly recommended) you can use other factors to determine if the fish is done such as color and texture.

    Fully cooked trout is firm to touch and flakes easily when poked with a fork. The color will be pale pink as against the deep pink it had when it was fresh. However farm raised trouts will be much paler that wild caught trouts.

    Trout vs Salmon waste the difference?

    Trout and and Salmon are similar in color (Deep pinkish-orangish) and are both mild tasting fish, however there are a few key differences to note about these two healthy fish.

    Trout is usually found in fresh water while salmon though born in fresh water usually migrate to the ocean.

    Trouts are a few inches smaller than Salmon and also have a lot of spout on their skin. Salmon hardly have spots on their skin. Also Salmon has a higher fat content than Trout.
