Ingredients

1 whole pompano fish, cleaned
1 tablespoon cooking oil
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the cleaned pompano fish dry with paper towels. Rub the fish all over with a light coating of cooking oil.
Season generously with salt and pepper, both inside the cavity and on the skin.
Lightly oil the air fryer basket or tray to prevent sticking.
Place the seasoned pompano fish in the basket or on the tray.
Air fry for 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the fish. Flip the fish halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
Check for doneness: The fish should be golden and crispy on the outside, and the flesh should be opaque and easily flake with a fork.
Remove the fish from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes.
Serve hot with a side of your choice, such as steamed vegetables or rice.

Notes

Dry the Fish Well - Pat the fish dry with paper towels before seasoning. This helps achieve a crispy exterior when air frying.
