Description
Crispy and flavorful air fryer fish fillets, perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 6-8 pieces fish fillets (2 oz each) – firm white fish like cod, haddock, or tilapia
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs (gluten-free options are available)
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder or granules
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine paprika, chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Toss the fish fillets in the spice mixture until evenly coated.
- In a shallow dish, add the dry breadcrumbs and drizzle with olive oil. Mix well to coat the crumbs with oil.
- Dip each seasoned fish fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to ensure a thick coat.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Place the breaded fish fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Carefully remove the fish from the air fryer and serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
For best results, use fresh fish and consider letting the breaded fillets rest for a few minutes before cooking.
