Instructions
1.Prepare the cod
Use two thawed cod fillets 2.5–3 cm thick; thaw in the refrigerator beforehand if needed.
Thawing time is not included.
Pat dry and check for bones.
Preheat the empty basket for 3 minutes at 180 °C according to the manual.2.Prepare the mustard sauce
Mix the mustard, oil and lemon juice.
Place the fish in a shallow metal dish about 18 × 18 cm suitable for the appliance, with space around it for airflow.
Spread the sauce over the fish.3.Cook in the air fryer
Air fry at 180 °C for 10–14 minutes without turning.
From 10 minutes, check the thickest part with a clean thermometer: it must reach at least 63 °C.
Add 2-minute increments if needed.4.Serving
Serve with chopped parsley and all the pan juices.
Cooked flesh flakes easily, but use this alongside the thermometer check.
If the fillets overlap, cook in two batches.
Tips from Atelier Airfryer
A tip for better texture
A thin fillet cooks faster than a thick loin: check early rather than relying on weight alone.
Lift with a wide spatula to keep the fish intact.
Adjusting batches
The displayed 14 minutes cover one batch; allow 10–14 minutes at 180 °C depending on your appliance.
The 3-minute preheat is included in preparation time.
If the basket is too small, repeat cooking without stacking the food.
Useful accessory (Amazon affiliate link)
