Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock work well)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to adhere the breadcrumbs.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the breaded fillets in a single layer, leaving space between them.
- Lightly spray the tops of the fillets with cooking spray for extra crispness.
- Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite side dishes.
