Seasoned Crunchy Cod Fillets in the Air Fryer image

The air fryer does a great job on fish, and the topping on these cod fillets is tasty and crunchy. Use the fillets as a main dish with some rice and veggies, or as a sandwich filling, with lettuce, tomato, and remoulade, or your favorite sandwich spread. Make sure the rest of your dinner is nearly done, because these filets will be ready in less than 25 minutes.

Time 22m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

avocado oil cooking spray
⅓ cup unseasoned panko bread crumbs
⅓ cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons seasoning mix (such as Trader Joe's® 21 Seasoning Salute Blend)
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ cup buttermilk
3 (5 ounce) cod fillets
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Create a foil sling in the bottom of a basket-style air fryer, going across the bottom of the basket and up the sides, about 3 inches. Poke a few holes in the bottom of the foil sling, to match the holes in the basket. Spray the sling with avocado oil. If using a shelf-style air fryer, omit this step.
  • Combine panko crumbs, yellow cornmeal, seasoning blend, paprika, and salt in a small bowl. Pour buttermilk into a second bowl.
  • Pat cod fillets dry with paper towels and lightly dust both sides with flour. Dip each flour-coated fillet into the buttermilk, then turn in the crumb mixture. Pat the crumb mixture on all sides of each fillet and place on the foil sling, if using. Place on the rack of a shelf-style air fryer. Spray each cod fillet with avocado oil.
  • Cook in the air fryer until the fish flakes easily, 10 to 12 minutes. Use the sling to remove cod fillets from the air fryer and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest cod fish fillets you can find. Fresh cod fish will have a mild, sweet flavor and a firm, white flesh.
  • To ensure even cooking, pat the cod fish fillets dry with paper towels before seasoning and cooking.
  • Season the cod fish fillets generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F before cooking the cod fish fillets.
  • Place the cod fish fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket, or the cod fish fillets will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the cod fish fillets for 8-10 minutes, or until they are cooked through. The cod fish fillets are cooked through when they are opaque and flaky.
  • Serve the cod fish fillets immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Air fryer cod fish is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal. This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or for a quick and easy lunch.
