Prepare the Marinade
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, and fresh lemon juice. Stir everything together until the spices are evenly mixed and a smooth marinade forms. This mixture should evenly coat every piece of fish for maximum flavour.

Marinate the Fish
Cut the fish into evenly sized chunks and add them to the marinade. Gently toss until every piece is fully coated with the seasoning mixture. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or longer if desired, to allow the flavours to develop further.

Arrange in the Air Fryer
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking. Arrange the marinated fish pieces in a single layer with a little space between each piece. Rub any remaining marinade over the fish before cooking for extra flavour and even browning.

Cook the Fish
Air fry the fish at 180°C until it is cooked through and lightly golden. Flip the fish about halfway through cooking for even colouring if desired. Depending on the thickness of the fish, it may be ready in about 12 minutes instead of the full 15 minutes.
