- Olive oil spray
Instructions
Creating air-fried fish fillets is straightforward and can be broken down into a few clear steps. Follow these instructions for the best results:
- Prepare the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C). This ensures even cooking.
- Set Up Breading Station: On three plates, lay out the flour, whisked eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dry the Fish Fillets: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step helps achieve a crisper finish.
- Coat the Fish:
- Dip each fish fillet first into the flour, coating both sides thoroughly.
- Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, making sure to cover all areas.
- Finally, roll the fillet in the breadcrumb mixture until generously coated.
- Arrange in the Air Fryer: Spray the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil. Place the breaded fillets in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Cook the Fillets: Air fry the fish fillets for about 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through. A golden brown color indicates they are ready!
- Check for Doneness: The fish should flake easily with a fork and have an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove and Serve: Carefully take out the fillets from the air fryer and place them on a serving platter.
