❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Air Fryer Cod

1. Do I need to preheat the air fryer?

Yes, preheating the air fryer helps the cod cook evenly and get a nice outer texture. It only takes a few minutes.

2. Can I use frozen cod fillets?

Yes, you can use frozen cod. Just increase the cooking time by a few minutes, and make sure to pat them dry after thawing to remove excess moisture.

3. How do I know when the cod is done?

The cod is done when it flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F. The flesh should be opaque and not translucent.

4. What seasonings work well with cod?

You can use lemon pepper, Cajun seasoning, or a simple mix of salt, pepper, and herbs like dill or parsley. Feel free to experiment with your favorites.

5. Can I cook other vegetables with the cod in the air fryer?

Yes, you can add vegetables like asparagus or broccoli to the basket, but keep in mind they may need a slightly different cooking time. Add them halfway through the cod cooking time for best results.
