Tartar Sauce-Battered Fish Sticks in the Air Fryer image

Homemade crispy fish sticks in an air fryer. Unlike most air fryer recipes, this one does not require cooking spray or flipping halfway through cook time. An added bonus is that you don't need dipping sauce, because it is already in the batter.

AIR-FRYER BEER-BATTERED FISH



Air-Fryer Beer-Battered Fish image

We love a crispy piece of beer-battered fish, but we don't always want the calories that come with deep-frying. So we turned to the air fryer to develop a recipe with all the characteristics of the traditional dish-a light, crunchy-yet-airy exterior and a flaky, luscious interior. The secret to this recipe is in the method. Traditionally, the fish would go into a wet beer batter and then cook in hot oil. But in order to work in the air fryer, we needed to make some important changes. Get all the step-by-steps below, and learn how we tweaked the process, from the dredge to the oil, to create crispy air-fried fish.

Provided by Adam Dolge

Categories     Healthy Air Fryer Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ¼ pounds skinless cod fillet, about 1 inch thick, cut into 8 portions
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons paprika
Pinch of cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt, divided
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup beer, preferably lager
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Olive oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Pat fish dry; refrigerate while making batter.
  • Whisk 3/4 cup flour, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper in a shallow dish; set aside. Whisk the remaining 1 cup flour and baking soda in a medium bowl. Add beer and egg and whisk until smooth (the batter should be thick). Refrigerate the batter.
  • Preheat air fryer to 390°F (see Tip). Coat the basket generously with cooking spray. Remove the fish and batter from the refrigerator and set a large rimmed baking sheet on the counter. Pat the fish dry again. Lightly dredge each piece of fish in the flour-spice mixture, tapping off excess, and transfer to one half of the baking sheet. Spread the remaining flour-spice mixture on the other half of the baking sheet.
  • Using 2 forks, dip a piece of fish into the batter, letting excess batter drip off, then place in the flour-spice mixture, gently flipping until well coated. Repeat with the remaining fish. Once all the fish is coated, spray the top side with cooking spray until no dry flour remains. Arrange the fish pieces sprayed-side down in the air-fryer basket, without touching. Generously spray the tops and sides of the fish with cooking spray. Cook until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 13 minutes. Gently remove the fish with a flexible spatula (some batter may stick to the bottom of the basket). Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose cod fillets that are fresh and firm.
  • To make the batter, use cold water and beer.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this will make it tough.
  • Use a light-colored beer, such as a lager or pilsner.
  • When dipping the cod in the batter, make sure to coat it evenly.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before cooking the cod.
  • Cook the cod for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown and flaky.
  • Serve the cod immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Air fryer battered cod is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The fish is crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, and it is sure to please the whole family. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and healthy meal on the table in no time.
