Tender, moist air fryer halibut cooks up beautifully in just 10 minutes. Crisp edges, flavorful seasoning, and bright lemon finish make this healthy fish dinner a perfect main!

Ingredients

2 halibut fillets (6 oz each), thawed if frozen
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (omit for dairy free)
Olive oil or avocado oil spray
2 thin lemon slices
Optional: fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Directions

Spray the air fryer basket with oil and lightly spray both sides of the fish.
Combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and parmesan (if using) in a small bowl. Sprinkle over fillets and press gently so seasonings stick.
Top each fillet with a lemon slice.
Place fish in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 360°F (182°C) for 8–10 minutes, or until halibut flakes easily and begins to turn golden.
Serve with your favorite side and an extra lemon wedge. Garnish with parsley if desired.
