  • Make sure the fish fillets are dry before breading them. This will help the breading adhere to the fish.
  • Use a light touch when breading the fish fillets. Don't press too hard, or you'll end up with a thick, heavy breading.
  • Preheat your air fryer before cooking the fish fillets. This will help the fish cook evenly.
  • Cook the fish fillets in a single layer. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Flip the fish fillets halfway through cooking. This will help them cook evenly on both sides.
  • Serve the fish fillets immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
