Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the flour with the paprika, garlic powder and salt. Place the beaten egg in another bowl and the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

Step 2

Pat the fish dry using a paper towel. Dredge the fish in the flour mixture, then the egg and finally the panko breadcrumbs, pressing down lightly until the crumbs stick. Spray both sides with oil.

Step 3

For the air fryer, air fry at 400 degrees F. until about for 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway through until crispy and lightly golden.

Step 4

Open basket and check for desired doneness with a fork to see if it flakes off easily. You can return the fish for another 1 or 2 minutes as necessary.

Step 5

Serve immediately with fries and tartar sauce, if desired.
