These golden fish fillets are cooked in the air fryer until crispy and delicious. Covered in a tasty crust, the fish remains soft and velvety from the inside and crunch on the outside.
So back to the Air Fryer fish recipe, I’ve seen many recipes on the internet where you need to spray oil over the breading before you air fry the fish.
I found that this method causes the breading to fall off, so I use a tablespoon of oil instead that I coat the fish with.
