How to Cook Halibut in the Air Fryer

Cooking halibut in the air fryer is super easy. Our parmesan pistachio crusted halibut recipe only requires eight simple ingredients.

Get started by preheating your air fryer to 400 degrees. In a bowl, create the breading for the halibut by combining chopped pistachios, grated parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt-free lemon pepper and dried parsley.

Now that your breading is ready, prep the fish by patting it dry with a paper towel. Brush the top of each halibut filet with mayonnaise, then sprinkle on the breadcrumb topping. Finally, cook the pistachio crusted halibut for eight to 12 minutes or until the fish is fully cooked.

This air fryer halibut recipe makes two servings, so it’s the perfect meal to enjoy with a friend or family member. On the Nutrisystem Partner Plan? Cook up this recipe-for-two to share with your weight loss partner! You could also keep the second serving all to yourself for an easy meal tomorrow. Just be sure to log the meal in your NuMi app journal to stay on track with your weight loss. Each serving contains 228 calories and counts as two PowerFuels and one Extra on Nutrisystem.

Healthy Hacks

Can’t find halibut? Swap in a different white fish that you enjoy! It will taste just as delicious. Try the recipe with cod, flounder, haddock, catfish or tilapia.

In addition to switching up the type of fish, you can also play around with the spices and herbs in this recipe. Add some extra garlic powder or swap it for a different spice like onion powder or paprika. You can also sprinkle in some cayenne pepper for an extra kick! Spices and herbs are Free Foods on Nutrisystem, which means they are unlimited. Seasons till your heart’s content!

Finally, don’t forget a side dish (or two!). You can add a SmartCarb to this meal, such as some brown rice, quinoa, whole grain pasta or whole grain bread. (Try a fish sandwich with two slices of 90-calorie high-fiber bread!).

Just like Free Foods, non-starchy vegetables are also unlimited on Nutrisystem. Steam some broccoli, spinach or cauliflower to enjoy as a side dish. You could also make a garden salad with leafy greens, tomatoes and onions. Just be sure to count any salad dressing or oils that you add towards your daily Extras!
