Air Fry Tandoori Fish

Recipe by Sejal

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole fish fillet (steelhead, salmon, cod, or your choice)

  • 1 cup yogurt

  • Salt, to taste

  • 1–2 tablespoons tandoori masala (MDH, Everest, or any brand)

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 1 tablespoon oil (any neutral oil)

  • Air fryer liner (optional but recommended)

Instructions:

  • Prepare the Fish:

    • Wash and pat dry the fish fillet.

    • Remove the skin (if needed) and cut the fish into medium-sized cubes.

  • Make the Marinade:

    • In a bowl, mix together yogurt, salt, tandoori masala, lime juice, and oil.

  • Marinate the Fish:

    • Add the fish cubes to the marinade and coat evenly.

    • Let it rest for at least 10–15 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor).

  • Air Fry the Fish:

    • Line your air fryer basket with an air fryer liner.

    • Place the marinated fish cubes inside in a single layer.

    • Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through until slightly charred and cooked through.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve hot straight from the air fryer for the best flavor and texture.

  • Sprinkle extra chaat masala or lime juice on top for added tang and brightness.

  • Pair with mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or garlic yogurt dip.

  • Enjoy as a starter, or serve alongside jeera rice, naan, or a fresh salad for a light meal.

  • Great for meal prep—pack with rice and veggies for a flavorful lunchbox.
