Today I propose a super tasty, super elegant recipe that is easy to prepare: Cod in foil in an air fryer.
If you don’t have an air fryer, oven baking works just as well.
The fish cooked in foil in the air fryer is a light and tasty alternative to classic frying. Using just a drizzle of oil, you get a delicate and flavorful dish, perfect for those who want to enjoy fish without sacrificing taste.
Moreover, it is a very easy recipe to quickly cook cod fillets, while also being line-conscious.
Cod, as we all know by now, is rich in omega-3s which are very good for our body, especially for those with high cholesterol. Ideally, it should be included in the diet at least once a week.
Essentially, it’s fish in foil, but since the cod is sliced (or filleted), it is even easier and quicker to prepare and eat as it doesn’t need cleaning, being already filleted.
The foil will help preserve the flavors while also keeping the fish from drying out and minimizing the seasoning (meaning oil).
The cooking takes place in a humid environment, in the fryer, to maintain flavor and tenderness. But don’t worry if you don’t have an air fryer; the foil cooks in the electric oven with the same procedure but different baking times, namely 30/35 minutes at 350°F.
Best served immediately, opening the foil at the table and adding a drizzle of raw oil. For better tenderness of the fish, wait 5 minutes after removing them from the oven before enjoying.
In short, a delicious, practical, and light dish, what more could you ask for?
Try this easy and healthy recipe for a light but satisfying meal.
Of course, this foil preparation also suits other types of fish like salmon, sea bream, and other similar fish.
