About
Perfectly cooked lemon cod (even from frozen) is placed on top a bed of garlic-butter zucchini noodles. The noodles are cooked until al dente so they retain a nice bite. The final dish is topped with a final squeeze of lemon juice for brightness and some minced parsley. If you decide to cook the fish from a thawed form, they will take about 1/3 of the time.
Can you cook fish from frozen in an air fryer?
Yes! You can definitely cook fish from frozen in an air fryer. Though if you cook the cod in this recipe from frozen, be sure to top the fish with lemon slices during the last few minutes of cooking so they do not burn.
How long should I cook zucchini noodles in the air fryer?
If you like more al dente noodles, cook the zucchini noodles at 400 F for 1 minute and then I allow them to sit in the basket for another minute. Add an additional minute if you like softer noodles.
How should I garnish this dish?
Garnish this dish with a fresh squeeze of lemon and some minced parsley.
