Ingredients

  • 2 medium trout fillets
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic granules or 1 x fresh garlic clove
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 medium lemon sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  • Cut 4 slices of lemon.
  • Pat the trout fillets dry with kitchen towel.
  • Brush the trout fillets with olive oil using a pastry brush.
  • Rub the spice mixture all over the trout fillets with your hands, making sure to coat the sides.
  • Place two slices of lemon on the top of each trout fillet.
  • Place the fillets on some baking parchment or an air fryer liner in the air fryer basket, skin side down.
  • Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 63˚C / 145˚F or the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. (The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets and the power of your air fryer.) You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the fish.
  • Serve the trout fillets warm from the air fryer.

Notes

See the recipe post for more detailed guidance and instructions.
If your air fryer doesn't have a preheat function, you will need to add a few minutes to the cooking time.
 
Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the trout fillet.
