How Long to Cook Haddock in the Air Fryer

The full cook time is going to depend on a few factors.

First, air fryers can vary based on size and model, so it’s always smart to check the fish a few minutes before you think it’s done just to be sure it’s not getting overcooked.

Next, the haddock in the air fryer timing will depend on the thickness of your fish filets.

Thinner cuts of fish will be done in about 8 minutes while thicker cuts could take an extra minute or two.

Of course, if you’re starting with frozen fish, you’ll want to add a few minutes to the cooking time.

Once cooked, haddock should be opaque all the way through and flake easily with a fork.

If you have an Instant Read Thermometer, make sure the air fryer haddock temperature has reached 140 degrees F at the thickest part of the filet.

Tips for Making the Best Healthy Air Fryer Haddock

• Pat the haddock filets as dry as possible. This will help the seasoning stick and cook the fish more evenly.
• Make sure the fish is well-coated in oil and seasoning. I recommend using your hands to gently spread the mixture as evenly as possible.
• Leave space between the filets in the air fryer for the hot air to be able to circulate around all sides of the fish.
