4.9 from 91 reviews

This Air Fryer Honey Chilean Sea Bass recipe offers a quick and flavorful way to enjoy tender and flaky sea bass with a sweet and spicy honey glaze. Cooked in the air fryer, the fish develops a crispy golden top while remaining moist inside, making it a perfect elegant yet easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Sea Bass

  • 1 lb Chilean sea bass (two fillets)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray

Honey Garlic Glaze

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp red crushed pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 garlic clove (finely minced)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and spray the basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Season the sea bass: Generously season the Chilean sea bass fillets on all sides with kosher salt and black pepper. Place them skin-side down in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes.
  3. Prepare the glaze: While the fish cooks, mix together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and red crushed pepper in a small bowl to create a sweet and spicy glaze.
  4. Glaze and finish cooking: Brush the cooked sea bass generously with the honey garlic glaze. Increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F (204°C) and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the fish is fully cooked through and the glaze has caramelized to a crispy, golden brown topping.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of red crushed pepper according to your heat preference.
  • Ensure the sea bass fillets are of similar thickness for even cooking.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the glaze.
  • Serving suggestion: Pair with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a balanced meal.
