fish fillets

Air frying fish fillets is a fantastic way to get crispy, golden results without deep frying. Here’s a simple recipe for air fryer fish fillets

Ingredients:

• 2 fish fillets (such as tilapia, cod, or any white fish)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg, beaten
• Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Instructions:

1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare Breading Station:
   • In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
   • Place flour in another shallow bowl.
   • Beat the egg in a third shallow bowl.
3. Coat the Fish:
   • Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels.
   • Dredge each fillet in flour, shaking off any excess.
   • Dip the floured fillets into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off.
   • Coat the fillets evenly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
4. Air Fry the Fish:
   • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with olive oil.
   • Place the breaded fish fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping.
   • Spray the tops of the fillets lightly with cooking spray or olive oil.
5. Cooking:
   • Air fry the fish fillets at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until the fish is golden and crispy and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Serve:
   • Once cooked, remove the fish fillets from the air fryer and let them rest for a minute or two.
   • Serve hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
