Mahi Mahi fillets cook quickly while holding their shape and texture, plus it’s an easy go-to for a gluten-free dinner option! You can easily bake Mahi, like with my Oven Baked Mahi Mahi, or you can grill Mahi, like with my Honey Lime Mahi Mahi. But, we’re going to make cooking Mahi for dinner even easier in this recipe by using your air fryer.

        I’ve never used this style of air fryer, however I wouldn’t think you would need to put foil under it.

      This may be a stupid question, but do you place the parchment paper in the air fryer?

        Never a stupid question! No, you do not need to place the parchment paper into the air fryer. Just be sure to spray the basket with cooking oil beforehand to ensure it doesn’t stick.
