Description

Discover how to make perfectly crispy fish fillets in an air fryer with this easy recipe. Learn the secrets to achieving delicious, golden-brown results!


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

  1. If the fish fillets are frozen, thaw them beforehand. Pour olive oil over the fillets, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs with paprika, chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
  3. Dredge each fish piece in the bread crumb mixture and place them in the air fryer basket.
  4. 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.
