How to Air Fry Trout
Коротка відповідь
For trout — whole rainbow trout (≈12 oz / 340 g), butterflied — start with 380°F (195°C) for an estimated 14–18 minutes. Flip or turn at about 8 minutes. Cook fish to 145°F (63°C); shellfish should have pearly or white, opaque flesh. Use the preparation steps below and the full table for other sizes or starting conditions.

Prep
Pat fillets dry and check for pin bones — run your finger along the flesh and remove any bones with tweezers. Brush with olive oil. Season simply with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and fresh dill or thyme. Trout has a delicate flavor that does not need heavy seasoning.
Temperature and Time
Place fillets skin-side down in the basket. Use the whole rainbow trout (≈12 oz / 340 g), butterflied preparation. Set the air fryer to 380°F (195°C); the starting range is 14–18 minutes. Turn or shake at about 8 minutes as appropriate for the food. Check at the lower end and continue as needed; thickness, load and the appliance affect the actual time. Cook fish to 145°F (63°C); shellfish should have pearly or white, opaque flesh.
Whole Trout Option
A whole dressed trout (1–1.5 lbs) can be air fried at 400°F for 15–20 minutes. Stuff the cavity with lemon slices, garlic, and herbs. Score the sides with diagonal cuts to allow heat penetration and prevent the skin from contracting.
Serving
Serve with lemon butter, almonds, capers, or a simple parsley and garlic oil. Trout pairs well with roasted potatoes, green beans, or a light salad with vinaigrette.
