A slice of lemon can add a nice touch for extra flavor. Make sure to preheat the air fryer for the best results. Adjust the seasoning to your taste; add more garlic powder or spices if you like. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even cooking. You can try different herbs and spices like paprika, cumin, or dill for a unique flavor each time. Additionally, you can use other white fish if orange roughy is not available.
