Ingredients

12 oz Flounder filets
1 tsp Salt
½ tsp Black Pepper
2 tsp Avocado Oil

Instructions

Turn your air fryer to 400F and preheat for 3-5 minutes.
Pat the fish completely dry with a paper towel. Brush a layer of avocado oil on both sides, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place the flounder in the preheated air fryer basket. Set the timer to 12 minutes. Flip halfway. A half-inch fillet should fully cook in 12 minutes; however, if your fish isn't fully cooked through, continue to cook for 3-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145F.
Remove with a spatula and serve while hot. Enjoy!
