Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cod fillets (4–6 oz each)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray or olive oil spray
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge each cod fillet in flour, then dip in egg, and coat with the seasoned panko mixture.
- Spray both sides of the breaded cod with cooking spray.
- Place fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer (cook in batches if needed).
- Air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure crispiness.
- Panko breadcrumbs provide extra crunch; regular breadcrumbs can be used in a pinch.
- Great served with tartar sauce, coleslaw, or over a salad.
