Tips:

Choose the right fish fillets: Look for fillets that are boneless, skinless, and uniform in thickness. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
Pat the fish fillets dry: This will help the breading adhere to the fish and prevent it from becoming soggy.
Season the fish fillets: Before breading, season the fish fillets with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
Use a light breading: A light breading will help the fish cook evenly and prevent it from becoming greasy.
Preheat the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to the desired temperature before cooking the fish fillets. This will help the fish cook evenly.
Cook the fish fillets in a single layer: Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook the fish fillets in a single layer to ensure that they cook evenly.
Flip the fish fillets halfway through cooking: This will help the fish cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the air fryer basket.
Cook the fish fillets until they are cooked through: The fish fillets are cooked through when they are opaque and flake easily with a fork.
