Instructions
Creating Air Fryer Fish can be straightforward if you follow these clear steps:
1. Prepare the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. Set Up Breading Stations: In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat the Fish: First, dredge each fish fillet in flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any extra to drip off. Lastly, coat the fillet in the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing down gently to adhere.
4. Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the coated fish fillets in the basket in a single layer.
5. Cook the Fish: Air fry the fillets for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
6. Serve: Once cooked, remove the fish from the air fryer and serve with lemon wedges for an enhanced flavor.
By following these steps, you’ll find that Air Fryer Fish is not only simple to make but also delivers an incredible taste that keeps you coming back for more!
