Easy Air Fryer Mahi Mahi
A light and flaky white fish dinner that comes together in just a few minutes.
recipesbynani.comMahi mahi is one of my favorite fish to cook because it has a mild flavor and holds its shape so well. Using the air fryer makes this dish incredibly easy since it cooks evenly and creates a lovely crust without needing much oil at all.
My top tip for this recipe is to pat your fish fillets very dry with a paper towel before adding your seasonings. This helps the oil and spices stick better, ensuring you get a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside tender.
