Halibut is a premium fish — mildly sweet, meaty, and beautifully flaky when cooked right. The challenge with halibut has always been nailing the texture: a minute or two over and it goes from silky to chalky. The air fryer is actually one of the best ways to cook halibut because the circulating heat is…
Cooking ground beef in the air fryer sounds unusual at first — most people instinctively reach for a skillet. But the air fryer handles ground beef surprisingly well. The fat drains away through the basket, the meat browns from all sides due to the circulating air, and you end up with crumbled, well-browned beef that’s…
Baja fish tacos are built on crispy, lightly battered fish in a warm corn tortilla with cool slaw and a creamy sauce. The original Baja style uses beer batter and deep frying. The air fryer version gets you 90% of the way there — a golden panko crust, flaky white fish, done in about 12…

Chicken Marsala is one of those restaurant dishes that feels fancy but is actually straightforward once you break it down. The air fryer handles the chicken beautifully — thin cutlets come out golden and tender in about 10 minutes — and the Marsala sauce comes together on the stovetop while the chicken cooks. You get…
Chicken Katsu is one of Japan’s most beloved comfort foods — a thin, breaded chicken cutlet fried until shatteringly crispy, served with tangy tonkatsu sauce over steamed rice. The air fryer version skips the pot of oil but keeps the crunch that makes katsu so satisfying. The secret is panko breadcrumbs: those airy Japanese-style crumbs…
