Air Fried Crumbed Fish
Who knew that you could make a meal that feels like a treat without pulling out the deep fryer? Follow these easy steps, and you’ll be the fish-fryin’ superstar of your kitchen!
Ingredients
- 4 pieces of white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or your favorite kind)
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs (panko will make it extra crunchy)
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika (or more if you like it spicy)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray (because we all need a little help)
Instructions
- First things first! Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (that’s 200°C for the fancy cooks out there).
- Get three bowls ready: one for the flour, one for beaten eggs, and another for the breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Now, up next: take a fish fillet, give it a light dusting of flour, dip it in the egg mixture until it’s all gooey, and then coat it with breadcrumbs until it looks like a fishy armor. Repeat this for all pieces.
- Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray to prevent any sticking action—let’s avoid the tragic ‘fish stuck to the basket’ incident.
- Place the coated fish fillets in the air fryer in a single layer. You might need to cook them in batches; they don’t like crowds!
- Cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden brown and crispy. Just check on them; your air fryer might have a mind of its own! Resist the urge to keep opening it to peek; let them sizzle.
- Finally, take them out, and voilà! A plateful of golden, crispy goodness that’s way healthier than takeout.
Now you’re ready to serve this crispy treat with some homemade tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or just eat them plain like a real champ! Enjoy your air-fried masterpieces and revel in the healthiness of it all. Your taste buds will thank you, and so will your waistline!
