Notes
Don't forget! Pat the fish dry with paper towels before seasoning or breading. The seasoning and the Panko breading will not stick if the fillets are wet.
To Make From Frozen: Rinse the fish under water to remove ice. Pat it dry with a paper towel. Coat each side of the fish with avocado oil before seasoning. Air fry at 400°F for 12-14 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 137°F.
Panko Breading Variation: Spray fillets with olive oil spray and coat with Panko bread crumbs mixed with Cajun seasoning before air frying.
Make Ahead: Season mahi mahi and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for up to 1 day before air frying. Use the thawed fish within 24 hours of defrosting.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Reheating: Reheat by air frying for 3-5 minutes at 350°F or until fish is slightly crispy at the edges and heated through.
Freezing: Freeze seasoned fish and place in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
