Equipment

Air Fryer

Ingredients

2 6-ounce halibut filets skinless
Olive oil spray

Halibut Dry Rub

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika sweet or smoked
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon salt
Pinch black pepper

Green Beans***

½ pound green beans trimmed
2 teaspoons olive oil
Salt & pepper

For Serving

Lemon wedges

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the dry rub ingredients.
Pat the halibut dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the halibut with the dry rub and coat it on all sides.
Preheat your air fryer to 400-degrees.
Spray the basket with oil and add the halibut in a single layer.
Cook the halibut for 6-7 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork. If using a meat thermometer, it should register 145-degrees F.
*** Tip: If desired, and your air fryer has room, you can cook the green beans right alongside your halibut, tossing once during the cooking time.

Notes

Storing

Once cool, place the leftover halibut and green beans in separate airtight containers and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, microwave the leftovers in 20-second intervals, or place them back in the air fryer for a few minutes or until warmed through.

Tips and tricks

Make sure to pat the halibut filets dry with paper towels before adding the seasonings. This helps the dry rub stick to the fish while promoting a crisp, golden crust on the outside.
Want to switch up the seasonings? Use Cajun, Italian, blackening, lemon pepper, or shrimp seasoning blends on the fish instead!
If the halibut is done cooking before the green beans are tender, just take it out of the air fryer and let the beans cook for another few minutes.
You’ll know the fish is cooked through when the meat turns from white to opaque, it flakes easily when scraped with a fork, and has an internal temperature of 145ºF.
Feel free to swap the green beans for other fresh vegetables like asparagus, broccoli, or snap peas.
