It’s not “cheating” on cooking to make a meal using an air fryer. It’s actually healthier than deep-frying fish in oils, and it’s much less of a mess, too. We’ve compiled 5 air fryer fish recipes that come together in virtually no time — tasty, healthy and perfect for a quick meal. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can try using the broiler in your oven too (a few of the recipes have a simple adaptation for this).
