How to do it
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for 3 minutes.
- Arrange in a single layer with space between pieces — air needs to reach every side.
- Cook for 10–12 minutes.
- Shake the basket once or twice for even cooking.
- Thin fillets can be done in 8 minutes — check early.
Doneness: cook to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), measured at the thickest part with an instant-read thermometer. See all USDA safe minimum temperatures.
Pro tip: Cod flakes easily with a fork when done.
Gear that makes this easier
Product suggestions below are editorial picks. See our affiliate disclosure.
- Instant-read meat thermometer — The only reliable way to know meat is safely done — every chart on this site assumes you check internal temperature.
- Air fryer parchment liners — Keeps sticky foods (wings, cookies, cinnamon rolls) from welding to the basket and makes cleanup a 10-second job.
- Oil sprayer / mister — A fine, even mist crisps breaded food without soaking it. Bottled sprays with propellant can damage nonstick coating.
- Silicone-tipped tongs — Flip food without scratching the basket's nonstick surface.
