– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
Creating amazing Air Fryer Fish is easy when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Breading Station: Set up three shallow bowls. In the first, place the flour. In the second, beat the egg. In the third, combine breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Coat the Fish: Start by dredging each fish fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the fish in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks well.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.
4. Arrange in the Air Fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with a bit of olive oil. Place the breaded fish in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they don’t overlap.
5. Air Fry the Fish: Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the fish is golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
6. Serve: Remove the fish carefully and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
7. Garnish and Enjoy: Serve the Air Fryer Fish with lemon wedges on the side for added taste.
