Equipment

  • 1 air fryer
  • 1 mixing bowls shallow
  • 1 tongs

Ingredients
  

Fish Fillets

  • 4 fish fillets cod or tilapia

Seasoning Mix

  • 2 tablespoons Italian herb seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Coating

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg beaten

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with the beaten egg, one with the herb seasoning, and one with the breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
  • Dip each fillet in the seasoning mix, then the egg, and finally press into the breadcrumb mixture to coat thoroughly.

Cooking

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes.
  • Place the fish fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Serving

  • Remove the fish from the air fryer and serve immediately with your choice of sides.

Storage

  • Place any leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer to restore crispiness.

Notes

Pro Tips: Preheat the air fryer to ensure even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the basket to maintain crispiness.
Ingredient Substitutions: Use gluten-free breadcrumbs if necessary. Salmon can be used instead of white fish for a richer flavor.
How to Serve: Pair with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Make-Ahead Tips: Bread the fish fillets in advance and refrigerate until ready to cook.
