Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a shallow dish, combine the panko bread crumbs, everything bagel seasoning, garlic salt, turmeric, and ground black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.

03

Step

Place the mahi mahi fillets on a plate or cutting board. Drizzle each fillet evenly with grapeseed oil, ensuring all surfaces are lightly coated.

04

Step

One at a time, gently press each mahi mahi fillet into the panko mixture, ensuring a thorough and even coating on all sides. Lightly press the breadcrumbs to adhere.

05

Step

Carefully place the breaded mahi mahi fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Spray the tops of the fillets with nonstick cooking spray.

06

Step

Cook in the preheated air fryer, flipping halfway through, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. (12-15 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the cooked mahi mahi fillets from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

For extra crispy results, lightly toast the panko bread crumbs in a dry skillet before mixing with the spices.
Ensure the mahi mahi fillets are patted dry before breading to help the panko adhere better.
Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your mahi mahi fillets. Fish is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Serve with a vibrant slaw, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad for a complete and balanced meal.
The seasoning can be adjusted to your preference. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a touch of heat or substitute with other spice blends like Italian seasoning or Old Bay.
