Notes

TO STORE: Any leftovers can be placed in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 3 days.

TO REHEAT: Place in the oven at 200 C/400 F and gently heat through for a few minutes.

Air fryer method: You’ll follow a similar process to my air fryer cod. Once the fish is seasoned, add the fillets to the air fryer basket and air fry at 200C/400F for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Stovetop method: Grease a large skillet or frying pan and place the seasoned fish fillets on top. Cook over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side.
