Instructions

  1. Step one: trim the asparagus and rinse the swai. Cut the bottom part of the asparagus from where the stalk turns white to green. At the same time, rinse the swai fish, and pat dry with paper towels. 
  2. Step two: season swai fish fillet. First, place clean swai fish on a foil alongside asparagus. Second, sprinkle a little salt and pepper. Then, add 1 teaspoon of honey mustard marinade to the fish and the asparagus. Use your clean hand to marinate and ensure the marinade gets to every corner. 
  3. Step three: wrap fish and asparagus in foil. Finally, wrap the foil to cover the fish and make a small packet—Reserve the last teaspoon to brush on the fish for later (before broiling). 
  4. Step four: air fry swai fish fillets. Set the air fryer for 10 minutes at 400 degrees and preheat. Place the fish packet in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes. After that time, the air fryer swai fish is ready. SEE STEP-BY-STEP PHOTOS IN THE POST.
  5. Step five: broil air fryer swai fish. Set the air fryer to broil and preheat. Open the air-fried swai fish and asparagus packet, and brush some honey mustard marinade on the fish. Use the last remaining marinade and add more if need be! Equally, sprinkle a little crushed red pepper (totally optional)! My air fryer broil setting automatically sets the time at 6 minutes. You can reduce the time. Here’s how air-fried swai fish looks after broiling; phenomenal, right? SEE STEP-BY-STEP PHOTOS IN THE POST.
  6. Step six: serve and enjoy. Fortunately, this air fryer swai fish recipe serves only one, so you don’t have to share! Do not discard the juices (inside the foil). Sprinkle it right on the fish for more deliciousness!

NOTES

This is a very tender fish, do not flip or turn it while cooking. I mean, most fish are!

For best results, allow frozen swai to thaw at room temperature before air frying.

Use the bend and snap to understand where to trim the asparagus from; never use asparagus without trimming! You don’t need those hard, chewy, fibrous parts; please cast them away!
