GLUTEN-FREE CRISPY CAJUN FISH FILLETS IN THE AIR FRYER



Gluten-Free Crispy Cajun Fish Fillets in the Air Fryer image

Cajun fish fillets made in the air fryer pack just enough heat and are perfectly crispy using gluten-free panko bread crumbs. I serve these as sandwiches on a gluten-free bun with lettuce, tomatoes, tartar sauce, and Cheddar cheese slices. Alternatively, you can skip the bun and serve in lettuce wraps or with a salad.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: Firm, flaky fish like cod, tilapia, or haddock are best for crispy fish fillets. Avoid delicate fish like sole or flounder, as they tend to fall apart.
  • Use a light touch when coating the fish: Too much breading will weigh down the fish and make it soggy. Just a thin, even layer of breading is all you need.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the fish, make sure to leave enough space between the fillets so that they can cook evenly without steaming. Otherwise, they will become soggy.
  • Cook the fish until golden brown: The fish is done cooking when it is opaque throughout and golden brown on the outside. Overcooking will dry out the fish, so be careful not to cook it for too long.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Crispy fish fillets are best enjoyed hot out of the pan. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or coleslaw.

Conclusion:

Crispy fish fillets are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or they can be served as part of a more elaborate seafood feast. With a little practice, you can easily master the art of making crispy fish fillets at home. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
