Ingredients
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg beaten, large
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 pound cod fillet cut into strips
- cooking spray
- tartar sauce for serving
- lemon for serving, wedges
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the flour with paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Place the beaten egg in another bowl and the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Pat the fish dry using a paper towel. Dredge the fish in the flour mixture, then the egg and finally the panko breadcrumbs, pressing down lightly until the crumbs stick. Spray both sides with oil.
- Air fry at 400°F, turning halfway through until crispy and lightly golden, about 10-12 minutes.
- Open basket and check for desired doneness with a fork to see if it flakes off easily. You can return the fish for another 1 or 2 minutes, if necessary.
- Serve immediately with fries and tartar sauce, if desired.

Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheat fish in the air fryer at 360°F for 2-3 minutes to maintain crispness.
- Microwave reheating is possible but will soften the crispy coating.
- Nutritional information excludes any side fries served with the fish.
