Healthy Air Fryer Red Snapper Filet Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 (6-ounce) red snapper filets
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 fresh lemon, for serving
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and preheat for at least 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Use paper towels to pat the red snapper filets completely dry on all sides.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, kosher salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper.

4. 4

   Drizzle the olive oil over the filets, coating them evenly. Sprinkle the spice rub generously over all sides of the fish.

5. 5

   Lightly spray the preheated air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the seasoned filets in the basket in a single layer, skin-side up if applicable.

6. 6

   Cook for 10-12 minutes at 400°F, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, or reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

7. 7

   Carefully remove the fish from the air fryer and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges squeezed over the top.
