Looking for an easy way to make mahi mahi? This Air Fryer Mahi Mahi is super simple and done in under 20 minutes. Top with pineapple mango salsa or serve as mahi mahi fish tacos for a simple, delicious weeknight dinner idea.
Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees. Check the owners manual of your air fryer for preheat instructions. (I have a Ninja Max XL air fryer, and this needs to preheat for 3 minutes at cooking temperature.)
Pat the mahi mahi filets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together the spices; chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, pepper and garlic salt. Stir together to incorporate. Sprinkle the seasoning over the mahi mahi.
Place the seasoned filets into the preheated air fryer basket. Cook at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until the mahi mahi reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
Serve with mahi mahi by topping with pineapple mango salsa, or break apart the filets and serve as fish tacos. Pair with your favorite salsa, avocado slices, cabbage slaw, fresh cilantro, and/or lime juice.
Notes
Mahi mahi is best served fresh and just cooked. However, if you want to store leftovers, place in a resealable container and refrigerate. Leftovers will keep for up to 2 days refrigerated.
