Notes
Tips & Tricks
- This recipe has been tested using my Instant Pot Vortex Plus Clear Cook air fryer and the temperatures and timings are specifically tailored for this model. Please be aware that various air fryer brands may cook differently, so I would advise you to regularly check the food's cooking progress to ensure the best results.
- Keep an eye on the fish as it can overcook very quickly.
- Fish is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 63˚C / 145˚F. The easiest way to check this is with a meat thermometer. You can pick one up for a really reasonable cost and they are a must-have in the kitchen.
- If you can’t find unwaxed lemons, just give the skin a good scrub before zesting to remove the wax.
- No need to worry about flipping the fillets halfway through cooking! They will cook evenly without turning them halfway through.
