Air Fryer Honey Chilean Sea Bass
(reprinted with permission from Cooked by Julie. Serves 2)
1 pound (2 filets) Chilean sea bass
¼ cup honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
1 clove garlic, finely minced
Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
Cooking spray
Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees F and spray basket with cooking spray. Let the Chilean sea bass sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before cooking it. Otherwise, if the fish is too cold, it will cook unevenly.
Season fish generously with kosher salt and black pepper on all sides. Place it skin-side down in air fryer basket and cook 10 minutes.
While fish cooks, combine honey, soy sauce, fresh garlic, and crushed red pepper. After fish has cooked 10 minutes, brush it with glaze, increase temperature of fryer to 400 degrees F, and cook for 2 minutes or until it’s fully cooked and the top is crispy and golden brown. (Make sure you cook the fish for 10 minutes before glazing it; honey burns quickly and if cooked for 12 minutes, it will burn!) Serve with fresh lemon.
