AIR FRYER FISH FILLETS (HOMEMADE & CRISPY)

Air Fryer Fish Fillets (Homemade & Crispy) image

Fillets of fish like tilapia, cod, halibut, and even salmon are great options. All the fillets will vary in thickness, so you'll have to adjust timing. Plus all air fryers cook a little different, some hotter or closer to the heating element than others. Once you cook your first batch, you'll know more of what works for your model of air fryer and size of food. If you use frozen fillets, just make sure to thaw the fillets first.Make sure to completely coat the breading on the fillets with oil spray or else it may cook up dry and crunchy instead of crispy. Wondering what oils and sprayers are best for an air fryer? This write up on our sister site, AirFryerWorld.com is a great write up.

Time 24m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 lb. fish fillets (, fresh or if frozen, thawed)
oil spray
1 teaspoon kosher salt (, to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (, to taste)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 cup breadcrumbs ((or panko, crushed pork rinds, almond flour - you may need more for larger flaked breading))
1 egg (, or more if needed)

Steps:

Preheat the Air Fryer at 380°F/193°C for 4 minutes.
If fillets are large, cut in half or to desired size. Make sure they are even sized so they'll cook evenly. The thicker they are, the longer they will take to cook.Pat the fillets dry then lightly spray with oil spray. Season with the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Put the breading in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, beat the egg. Dip a fillet in the egg, allowing excess egg to drip off. Place the coated fillet in the breadcrumbs (or breading of choice) and then sprinkle more breadcrumbs on top of the fillet. Gently press the breadcrumbs into the fillets to help them stick onto the fish. Repeat this process for all fish pieces.
Place a perforated parchment paper or perforated silicone mat (optional but highly recommended) in the air fryer basket or tray and lightly coat with oil spray. Lay coated fish in a single layer on the parchment (cook in batches if needed). Generously spray all sides of the breaded filets with oil spray to coat any dry spots.
Air Fry at 380°F/193°C for 8-14 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of your fillets. After 6 minutes, flip the fillets. Lightly spray any dry spots than then continue cooking for the remaining time or until they are crispy brown and the fish is cooked through. Serve with your favorite dip: tartar sauce, mustard, aioli, etc.

Tips:

Choose the right fish fillets. Look for fillets that are about 1 inch thick and have a mild flavor, such as tilapia, cod, or sole.
If your fish fillets are frozen, thaw them completely before cooking.
Season the fish fillets with your favorite seasonings. You can use a simple salt and pepper rub, or get creative with herbs and spices.
Preheat your air fryer to the desired temperature before cooking the fish fillets. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
Cook the fish fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
Cook the fish fillets for the recommended amount of time, or until they are cooked through. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets and the type of fish.
Serve the fish fillets immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Air fryer fish fillets are a quick, easy, and healthy way to cook fish. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they can be seasoned to your liking. Serve them with your favorite sides for a delicious and satisfying meal.
