- Air fry the halibut for ten more minutes, or until the internal temperature of the fish reaches 145 degrees F with a meat thermometer and the crust is golden brown and crispy. (The cook time will depend on the thickness of the fish. A thicker fillet will take longer to cook than a thinner fillet.)
