Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Fish fillets | 4 |
| Breadcrumbs | 1/2 cup |
| Grated Parmesan cheese | 1/4 cup |
| Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Paprika | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | To taste |
| Pepper | To taste |
| Cooking spray or olive oil spray | As needed |
| Lemon wedges | For serving |
| Tartar sauce or your favorite dipping sauce | Optional |
Instructions:
- Prepare the Fish Fillets: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the Coating: In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Coat the Fish Fillets: Dip each fish fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating to all sides of the fish. Make sure the fillets are evenly coated with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Cook the Fish Fillets: Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray or olive oil spray. Place the coated fish fillets in the basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the fillets in batches.
- Air-Fry the Fillets: Cook the fish fillets in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. The internal temperature of the fish should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the fish fillets from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving plate. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and tartar sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
