Almond Crusted Spicy Halibut In An Air Fryer Or Oven The Curry Mommy

Pair this spicy halibut recipe with couscous, asparagus, and a glass of pinot grigio for a date night meal! You will not be disappointed. Flaky whitefish is one of my favorites and halibut never disappoints. This spicy halibut with lemon is a recipe I make for my husband often and is also one of the first recipes I shared on my blog. “Wine Down Wednesdays” were a thing back before we had kids and I would love to create meals that paired well with a wine I would pick up from the grocery store.

Air fried halibut

I air fry halibut in my Breville Smart Oven air fryer. The fish comes out delicious! I cook halibut in an air fryer for about 12 minutes at 400 degrees. This helps get the butter and crust a bit crispy and the inside remains flaky. Give air fryer halibut a try!
