Description

This Air Fryer Halibut with Crispy Panko is a quick and delicious seafood recipe featuring tender halibut fillets topped with a flavorful mixture of mayonnaise, fresh parsley, garlic, and crunchy panko breadcrumbs. Cooked to perfection in the air fryer, this dish offers a crispy exterior and moist, flaky fish inside — perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Fish and Coating

  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh halibut fillets, sliced into 4 pieces
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Halibut: Pat the halibut fillets dry using a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Season the flesh side generously with kosher salt and black pepper.
  2. Make Topping Mixture: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped fresh parsley, and minced garlic. Mix until well blended.
  3. Apply Topping: Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the flesh side of each halibut fillet. Then sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs on top to create a crunchy crust.
  4. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes.
  5. Cook Halibut: Place the prepared halibut fillets in the air fryer basket spaced apart to ensure even cooking. Air fry for 7-8 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium doneness.
  6. Adjust for Doneness: For well-done fish, continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), which typically takes about 10 minutes total.

Notes

  • The internal temperature is key to ensure perfect doneness without drying the fish.
  • You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter option, but it may affect browning.
  • Fresh parsley adds brightness, but dried parsley can be used if fresh is unavailable.
  • Panko breadcrumbs provide the signature crunch, so avoid regular breadcrumbs for similar results.
  • Air fryer models vary, so check doneness slightly before the recommended time to avoid overcooking.
