Today at BiteMyRecipe we have thought of fish lovers and we bring a Mojarra recipe low in calories and made in the airfryer.
Many people love fish recipes and perhaps they do not dare to prepare it in the air fryer and therefore use the oven or another appliance.
With the air fryer you not only reduce calories and oil consumption, but you will also save on electricity bills.
The mojarra recipe is very healthy and we highly recommend it because it is high in Omega 3 and it contributes enough to the body.
The preparation is easy although you must do it with time, since you have to let it marinate for about 20 minutes so that it takes on flavor.
In this case I recommend a homemade sauce to accompany although it can be accompanied by a salad or chips, it depends on what you like best.
If you want more fish recipes in the airfryer leave it in the comments, and if you want accompanying sauces for fish too!
Ingredients for the Mojarra recipe
- Mojarra or Crappie
- Salt
- 1/2 tsp of Black pepper
- 1/2 tsp of Garlic powder
- Lettuce
- 1 Lemon
- 1 Tomato
- Olive oil
Elaboration in Airfryer
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
- We make about 4 diagonal cuts in the mojarra without going through it
- Add salt and black pepper to taste
- We squeeze the two lemons and bathe the mojarra with its juice
- Let cool in the fridge for 20 minutes
- Preheat the air fryer to 190ºC
- Meanwhile, with a brush, spread a little coconut oil on the mojarra
- We cook 15 minutes in the airfryer at 190 ºC (using the seafood mode)
- We take out the mojarra and turn it over to cook again in the air fryer for another 15 minutes at 190 ºC
- Rinse and cut the tomato into slices
- Put the tomato and lettuce next to the mojarra on a plate
- We already have the mojarra recipe ready!
Tips for a good Mojarra recipe
- Although we have accompanied it with a mini salad with vegetables such as lettuce and tomato, you can add any other accompaniment
- Sauces like the green sauce come in handy and if it is homemade much better and tastier
- Other times I've cooked it I have added a special hot spice for fish that gave it a very special taste
- I have cooked a whole mojarra and without doing anything with the fish before
- It is important to wash the air fryer well after cooking the fish since otherwise the flavor or the remains of smell can remain in the following recipe
