Here’s a complete recipe for making Air Fryer Fish Fillets (Fish Fallet), perfect for a quick and tasty meal!
Ingredients
- For the Fish:
- 4 fish fillets (like cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray or oil for misting
- For Serving:
- Lemon wedges
- Tartar sauce or your favorite dipping sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Fish:
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to ensure they crisp up nicely.
- Set Up Breading Station:
- In one shallow bowl, place the flour.
- In a second bowl, beat the eggs.
- In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Bread the Fish:
- Dip each fish fillet into the flour, coating it evenly and shaking off the excess.
- Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Finally, coat the fillet in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks well.
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Air Fry the Fish:
- Place the breaded fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded. You may need to cook in batches.
- Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or mist with oil.
- Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).
- Serve:
- Remove the fish from the air fryer and serve immediately with lemon wedges and tartar sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips
- For extra flavor, you can add herbs like dill or parsley to the breadcrumb mixture.
- If you prefer a spicier flavor, add some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the seasoning.
- Serve with a side salad or some air-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
