Ingredients
- – 6-8.2 oz (200g) fish fillets
- – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil or vegetable oil
- – 1 cup (50g) dry bread crumbs (If following a gluten-free diet, use gluten-free breadcrumbs)
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) paprika
- – 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) chili powder
- – 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) ground black pepper
- – 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) garlic powder or granules
- – 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) onion powder
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) salt
- – tartar sauce
- – lemon wedges
Instructions
- If the fish fillets are frozen, thaw them beforehand. Pour olive oil over the fillets, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs with paprika, chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
- Dredge each fish piece in the bread crumb mixture and place them in the air fryer basket.
- Set the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) and cook for 12-15 minutes. Halfway through cooking, approximately 8-10 minutes in, open the fryer and turn the fillets over, then resume cooking.
Notes
- Lightly coat breaded fish fillets with cooking spray for a crispier coating in the air fryer.
- Pair air-fried fish with homemade tartar sauce for a delicious flavor combination.
- Enhance cooked fish by squeezing fresh lemon wedges for a refreshing citrusy taste.
