High-Protein Air Fryer Blackened Cod

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3–4 minutes to keep the texture crisp.

The dill sauce can be stored separately for up to 4 days and also works well as a dip or sandwich spread.

Tips & FAQs

The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Can I make this recipe even lower in fat?
Use light mayonnaise or swap half of it for Greek yogurt in the sauce. You can also reduce the oil slightly.
