Crunchy Air Fryer Fish Recipes

Steps:

• For the fish and fries: Cut the cod into strips 1 inch wide by 2 inches long. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Set up a breading station with three wide shallow bowls or baking dishes, one with the flour, one with the eggs whisked with a splash of water and one with the panko. Whisk the paprika, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper into the flour.
• Working in small batches, toss the fish in the flour, then dip into the egg and, finally, coat with the panko. Arrange in a single layer in the basket of a 6-quart air fryer as they're done. Cook in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes, flipping the fish halfway through, until the fish is golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a dish and sprinkle with salt.
• Add the fries to the air fryer and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, add the fish on top of the fries to reheat.
• For the tartar sauce: While the fish is cooking, mix the mayonnaise, dill, cornichons, vinegar, capers, mustard and some salt and pepper in a small bowl.
• Serve the fish and fries immediately with the tartar sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Mix bread crumbs and oil together in a bowl. Stir until mixture becomes loose and crumbly.
• Dip fish fillets into the egg; shake off any excess. Dip fillets into the bread crumb mixture; coat evenly and fully.
• Lay coated fillets gently in the preheated air fryer. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 12 minutes. Garnish with lemon slices.

Steps:

• Create a foil sling in the bottom of a basket-style air fryer, going across the bottom of the basket and up the sides, about 3 inches. Poke a few holes in the bottom of the foil sling, to match the holes in the basket. Spray the sling with avocado oil. If using a shelf-style air fryer, omit this step.
• Combine panko crumbs, yellow cornmeal, seasoning blend, paprika, and salt in a small bowl. Pour buttermilk into a second bowl.
• Pat cod fillets dry with paper towels and lightly dust both sides with flour. Dip each flour-coated fillet into the buttermilk, then turn in the crumb mixture. Pat the crumb mixture on all sides of each fillet and place on the foil sling, if using. Place on the rack of a shelf-style air fryer. Spray each cod fillet with avocado oil.
• Cook in the air fryer until the fish flakes easily, 10 to 12 minutes. Use the sling to remove cod fillets from the air fryer and serve immediately.
