White fish in the air fryer

Air fry white fish at 385°F (195°C) for 8 to 12 minutes. That is for cod or haddock fillet, in a preheated basket air fryer; the calculator above fits it to your weight, your air fryer and how you like it. It needs no turning.

It is safe once the thickest part reaches 145°F (63°C), as USDA advises; a thermometer tells you more than the clock.

Questions

What temperature should I air fry white fish at?

385°F (195°C) for cod or haddock fillet, for 8 to 12 minutes. Pick another cut in the calculator and the heat and time follow it.

Do I need to turn white fish?

No turning needed: the hot air reaches every side. Just leave a little room around each piece.

How do I check white fish for doneness?

When the thickest part reads 145°F (63°C) on a thermometer, as USDA advises. The time gets you close; the thermometer tells you.

How many pieces fit in the basket?

As many as fit in one layer without touching. Tell the calculator how many you have and it counts the batches for your basket size.

Do I need to preheat the air fryer?

These times assume a preheated air fryer, which takes about 3 to 5 minutes. From cold, choose "No, from cold" and 3 minutes are added.
