Crispy Air Fryer Fish Fillet Recipe
Indulging in crispy, crunchy fish fillets has never been easier, thanks to the air fryer. This delightful recipe promises a golden exterior with tender, flaky fish on the inside, all without the guilt of deep frying.
Ingredients:
- 4 fresh fish fillets (haddock, cod, or your preference)
- 100g plain flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 150g breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- A drizzle of olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions:
- Begin by preheating the air fryer to 200°C (390°F).
- Set up a trio of stations: one for the seasoned flour, another for the beaten eggs, and the last for the breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Lightly coat each fish fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess, before dipping it into the egg wash. Finally, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until well covered.
- Place the coated fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Give them a light spray with olive oil for that extra crispiness.
- Cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fillets are golden brown and have reached a safe internal temperature.
- Serve hot with a side of tartar sauce and a fresh salad for a delightful meal that’s both healthy and utterly satisfying.
Enjoy the scrumptious crunch of these air-fried fish fillets—you’ll never look back!
