Lazymom Cooking #7 : Airfried Fish
I'm super lazy to fry fish because of the amount of oil required and the smell that sticks to everything in the house after frying. Not to mention the cleaning.
So, today I decided to try airfry the fish. In order to remove the 'fishy taste and smell' since there is no oil and frying involved, I used garlic and onions.
- Fish (I bought kerapu)
- Half an onion, roughly sliced.
- 3 cloves of garlic, roughly sliced.
- Olive oil, 1 tablespoon
- Soy sauce, to taste
I usually prepare everything before I start actual cooking (professionally, the French calls it mise-en-place). And as I peel, chopped, sliced I clean as I go to avoid washing a pile of stuff at the end of cooking.
I only rinse the fish when I needed to cook it. If you buy fish, rinse them and keep them in the fridge, it risks contamination. After rinsing with filtered water, I dry the fish with kitchen towel.
I laid the onions and garlic onto a baking paper - a bed for the fish.
Placed the fish on top.
Beautifully laid out.
I pre-heated the airfyer. At least 5 mins at 180 degrees. I lined the airfryer basket with 2 more sheets of baking paper.
Into the airfyer the fish goes.
Drizzle the olive oil over the fish
I set the timer for 15mins just to see how the fish will look like. It was looking a bit pale, so I drizzled soy sauce over it and gave it another 15mins with an increased temperature of 200 degrees.
ok, so turns out it doesn't look like fried fish at all. But let's taste and see.
Taste like fish! The meat is tender and not overcooked. The onions and garlic did take away the smell. The soy sauce gave a bit of taste to the bland flavour of the fish.
It is good to go for dinner tonight!
Accompanied by stirfry asparagus. This one no need step by step guide lah. Anyone can fry.
The best things about airfrying fish :
- almost no oil
- no need to clean any pan! My airfryer basket is squeaky clean, thanks to 3 layers of baking paper.
- healthier than frying with oil (I can't prove it but I believe it is)
You can use salmon fish. I've tried before and it was delicious especially with teriyaki sauce!
Do you have any fish recipes to share with me?

Thanks @anthonywong for dropping by.
@francesaw, I’ve always wanted to try cooking using an air-fryer but haven’t had the privilege yet... just out of curiosity, was the fish skin n onions crispy at the end?
@gelfire the onions and garlic were 'burnt' to a crisp & @davidke20 said they were kind syiok to eat. The skin was more to dry then crispy. Very much different from frying with oil. You won't get that fragrant oil fried taste and smell. The texture of the fish is also not the same. I feel between kerapu and salmon, using salmon is the best.
Ahhh... I see, but I guess it’s much more healthier that way. Good for promoting eating healthy @francesaw! 😅 Let’s see what you’re going to try cooking with your air-fryer next? 😉
@gelfire...I would like to cook salmon again. With french beans and loads of garlic, teriyaki sauce. Accompanied by butter rice and sunny side up. That's enough for dinner already.
Wow! Sounds yummy already just by reading your reply @francesaw! 😂 keep on posting and looking forward to more posts from you ya! Enjoy your meal preparations and cooking sessions!
Oh the air fryer cooks the fish just right? That's awesome. Can you adjust how long u fry it for or are there set timings that you have to follow? Always thiight od getting one but didn't want a white elephant in the kitchen. Hahaha!
@khimgoh My airfryer is a cheap cheap one. No pre-setting for anything. So, I set 5mins to pre-heat at 180 degrees. Put the fish in, set 15mins. Then check and see the colour so pale I push it back in and set another 15mins at higher temp 200.
