  1. Rinse the Mahi Mahi fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Brush the seasoning mix over each Mahi Mahi fillet, ensuring an even coating.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  5. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Place the seasoned Mahi Mahi fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  7. Cook the fillets for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  8. Use a fork to check if the fillets flake easily, indicating they are cooked through.
