Crispy Air Fryer Fish (lemon parmesan breading!)

all purpose flour (note 1)

egg (beaten)

breadcrumbs

Parmesan cheese (shredded; note 2)

onion powder

cod (3-5 oz each; up to 1 inch thick; see note 3)

Fish

Fish- start with fully thawed fish, and pat dry with a paper towel to remove moisture from the surface of the fish.

Prepare

Prepare breading- In three shallow bowls, add: (1) all purpose flour, (2) beaten eggs, (3) Panko, parmesan, lemon zest, salt, onion powder and garlic powder. Stir the Panko mixture until completely combined.

Breading

Bread the fish- Make sure your fish is fully thawed, and pat each fillet dry using paper towels. Use tongs or your fingers to dredge the fish in the flour, shaking off excess, then dipping into the beaten eggs. Allow any excess egg to run off before placing the fish in the Panko mixture. Press gently so it sticks, then flip and allow the entire fillet to be coated. Transfer to a clean plate or cutting board and repeat with remaining fillets.

Cook

Cook- Heat your air fryer to 400°F and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Add the fish to the basket or tray (*note 5) of your air fryer, ensuring the fillets do not overlap. Cook until the fish reaches 145°F in the thickest portion; 6-8 minutes.

Serve

Enjoy- Serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges, sprinkle with parsley if desired.

olive oil

Lemon wedges

Salt and pepper

Pat dry the cod with a paper towel.

Mix the oil with the paprika and garlic powder in a small bowl and brush both sides of each fillet with the olive oil.

Place the seasoned cod fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren&#x27;t overlapping.

Cook the cod in the air fryer at 200°C/390°F for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your cod fillets, so it&#x27;s a good idea to start checking for doneness around the 10 minute mark.

Carefully remove the cod fillets from the air fryer and serve with lemon wedges. Squeeze the lemon over the fish just before eating.

If you like, you can garnish the cod with fresh parsley before serving.

Air Fryer Cod is easy-to-make, and low-fat alternative to fried fish. Cod in the air fryer turns out with crispy exterior and tender and perfectly flaky on the inside under 10 minutes. Plus, it’s packed with health benefits

Crispy and Flaky Air Fryer Cod

Tablespoon Extra virgin Olive oil (or Avocado oil)

Salt (to taste)

Pepper (to taste)

Tablespoon

Prep cod fillets: Brush both sides of the cod fillets with oil or melted butter and season it with your preferred herbs and spices. I used Old Bay seasoning. You can also use garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper for seasoning.

Preheat: Let cod marinate and absorb spices and herbs for 5 minutes. In the meantime preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Then, grease the air fryer basket with oil or cooking spray.

Air fry:  Place the cod fillets in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes (depending on thickness) or until it turns golden brown and crispy. Flip the fillets halfway through the cooking time to ensure it cooks evenly on both sides. Use a meat thermometer to check if the internal temperature of the fish has reached 145°F.

Prepare the dipping sauce: While the cod is cooking, prepare the dipping sauce. You can make tartar sauce by mixing ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons finely chopped pickles (or sweet pickle relish), 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, ½ teaspoon of Dijon or yellow mustard and a pinch of salt.Or you can also make a healthy Avocado Cilantro Dipping sauce by mixing avocado, lime juice, garlic, and salt in a blender. Blend it until it becomes smooth and creamy.

Thank you,   for this recipe.   I fixed cod recently before having this recipe.   Big Mistake.   But no longer. Dinner tonight was moist, plump, and tasty.   Its my go to from this point on....

I agree it looks appetizing, but the cod literally fell apart when I tried flipping it.

Absolutely delicious!  So easy to prep and quick to the plate.  The fish flaked easily after 8 minutes.  Second batch was thinner and was done in 4 minutes (the fryer was really preheated).  So moist and flaky. Thank you. Didn't have to turn the oven on!

I love cod but have never cooked it.  I can't wait to try your recipe in my Emerald Dutch Door Air Fryer.  Thanks for posting this recipe.

My new favorite way to make fish! So flakey! My only issue was way too salty!! I will omit the salt next time, don’t need it.
