  I keep looking for an easy way to cook halibut so it doesn't dry out.   Came across Gwyneth Paltrow's recipe for baking in parchment paper with ginger, mushrooms, scallions, sesame oil, cocoanut oil,S &P, but I wanted to do it in foil and bake it in the air fryer to make it fast and easy clean up. I suppose the parchment paper is used so it can be served right in the paper and looks good on the plate.   It worked fine, fish was still moist, and had some flavor.  Baked at top setting (400 deg ?) for about 10-15 mins, poked the fish without opening the packet with an instant read thermometer and pulled it at roughly 125 (got different temps with different pokes through the same hole in the foil), thinking it would get hotter out of the fryer.   Instead of shittake mushrooms, I cheated and used Trader Joe's Mushroom Powder.   
    I think you could use nearly any spices you like, but must have a good amount of oil - cocoanut, olive, sesame, etc. The fish gives up it's fluid, but it doesn't evaporate like it would if it weren't in foil, so it kind of poaches the fish.

It sounds great. My wife is in love with her air fryer, so we'll have to try this one.

The mushroom powder is a good spice add.  Thanks for the technique and recipe.  Halibut is tricky.  On the grill it has to guarded, mostly 2-3 minutes per side barely and it stays tender.   :smt006
