Indulge in the crispy delight of Air Fryer Panko Cod, a dish that marries simplicity with flavour. First, take fresh cod fillets and pat them dry before seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, prepare a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, finely chopped parsley, and a sprinkle of lemon zest for that extra zing.

Coat the cod fillets in a light layer of flour, dip them into a beaten egg, and then generously coat them in the panko mixture, ensuring an even cover for that remarkable crunch. Preheat your air fryer to around 200°C (392°F) and lightly grease the basket with a cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the coated fillets in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch, and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and flawlessly crisp.

Serve your Air Fryer Panko Cod with a side of tartare sauce and a fresh green salad for a delightful meal that feels indulgent without the guilt. The air fryer not only achieves that perfect crispiness but also enhances the natural flavours of the cod, making it a firm favourite for a quick and satisfying dinner.
