Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Cod with Dill Butter
Flaky air fryer cod topped with a lemony dill-butter crumb — light, fresh and ready in about 20 minutes. The air fryer cooks the cod gently so it stays moist, while the panko-butter topping turns golden and crisp.
It's an easy, elegant fish dinner that feels restaurant-worthy. Serve with roasted vegetables or a crisp salad.
Ingredients
Instructions
Make the topping
Beat the softened butter with the chopped dill, lemon juice and zest. Stir in the breadcrumbs and panko with a pinch of salt.
Top the cod
Pat the cod dry, season with salt, and press the dill-butter crumb over the top of each fillet.
Air fry
Air fry at 375°F for about 10–12 minutes, until the cod flakes easily and the crumb is golden.
- Pat the cod very dry so the topping sticks.
- Don't overcook — cod flakes when it's done (about 145°F).
- Any firm white fish (haddock, pollock) works too.
