3. Step-by-step guide for super delicious air fryer fish
Step 1: Prepare the fish
After purchasing fresh fish, clean the scales, remove the gills and gut. Then rinse thoroughly and let it drain.
After washing, cut a few horizontal lines on the fish to allow the seasoning to penetrate evenly.
Step 2: Mix the fish marinating spices
Mix the fish marinating spices thoroughly: 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 4 teaspoons oyster sauce, 4 teaspoons sesame oil, 1-2 teaspoons chili powder.
Step 3: Marinate the fish
Brush the spices evenly on the entire fish. Then stuff the fish with scallions, cilantro, garlic, ginger, and dried onions to create a fragrant and non-fishy flavor. Marinate the fish for about 1 hour to allow the spices to penetrate.
Note: Only sprinkle ⅔ of the spice amount for marinating the fish.
Step 4: Grilling the Fish
Grill the fish for the first time at 180 degrees for 15 minutes. Then, take out the fish and evenly brush ⅓ of the marinated spices on both sides of the fish. Flip the fish and grill for the second time for 15 minutes at 180 degrees. When the fish meat is firm, the skin is dry and crispy, it is cooked.
