Step 1

Prep cod fillets: Pat your fillets dry with paper towels and season them. I prefer to keep it simple with just a sprinkle of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. I love how paprika adds a smoky flavor to the fish that enhances its aroma. You can also try it with Cajun seasoning or Old Bay seasoning. I also love to season cod with a mix of herbs like thyme, oregano, and parsley. This can be added to the fish before or after it's been cooked. If you’re looking to add a bit of heat, red pepper flakes or chili powder can be excellent options.

Step 2

Coat & Bread Your Cod Fillets. Once your cod fillets are seasoned, it’s time to coat them! Start by lightly dusting your fish with all-purpose flour. Then, dip each fillet in whisked eggs. Finally, coat the fillets generously in Panko breadcrumbs, making sure to press the breadcrumbs into the fish gently. This three-step breading method keeps the fish moist while creating a delicate crust that cooks up crispy in the air fryer.

Step 3

Air fry: Preheat your air fryer to 400F (200°C). Then, place your breaded cod fillets in the basket in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch. Gently spritz each fillet with spray oil. Cook for 8-10 minutes (depending on the thickness), flipping halfway, until the cod fillets are golden brown, crispy, and flaky on the inside. When the cod fillets’ internal temperature reaches 145F, they’re ready to enjoy!

Step 4

How long to cook breaded fish in the air fryer? It typically takes around 8 to12 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish. However, keep an eye on the fish to ensure that you don't overcook it. Overcooked cod can lead to a tough and dry texture, which can ruin the dish's overall flavor and presentation. Make sure to check the fish and adjust the cooking time accordingly, depending on the thickness and size of the fish. My cod fillets are about 1 inch in the thickest part. I cooked it 5 minutes per side for a total of 10 minutes.
