Basting brush or culinary brush
Tweezers for removing any bones from the halibut fillets (if necessary)
Flat plate or sturdy plastic wrap for marinating
Paper towels

Ingredients

2 halibut fillets (approximately 6-8 ounces each)
2 teaspoon olive oil
juice of half a lemon
2 teaspoon fresh thyme minced
pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Halibut Marinade

Prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, lemon juice, minced thyme, salt, and pepper on a flat plate or plastic wrap.
Place the halibut fillets in the marinade and coat them well. If you don't have plastic wrap, you can use a flat plate and flip the fillets occasionally to ensure even marination.
Let the halibut marinate in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes

Air Frying the Halibut

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Once the air fryer has reached the desired temperature, remove the halibut fillets from the marinade. Pat dry with paper towels! Place them in the air fryer basket.
Air fry the halibut at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Carefully remove the cooked halibut from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula to avoid burns.
Transfer the air-fried halibut to a serving plate and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
If desired, garnish the halibut with fresh herbs and lemon slices, or serve it with a sauce of your choice, such as tartar sauce or a fresh lemon and herb sauce.
