Enjoy these crispy and flavorful Ranch Crusted Fish Fillets made easily in the air fryer for a quick and healthy meal.
Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 shallow dish
- 1 mixing bowl
Ingredients
Fish Fillets
- 4 white fish fillets such as cod or tilapia
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Coating
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
Instructions
Preparation
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the coating stick better.
- In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and ranch seasoning mix. Stir until well combined.
- Dip each fillet in olive oil, ensuring it's evenly coated. Then dip into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Serving
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Place the coated fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
- Serve the fillets immediately with your choice of side dishes and sauces.
Storage
- Store any leftover fillets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for best results.
