Ingredients
- 1½ pounds cod filets skin removed (675g)
- 2 teaspoon salt divided
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour (40g)
- 1½ cups panko breadcrumbs (90g)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- tartar sauce for serving
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Cut the cod filets into strips, about ½ to 1 inch wide, and 3 to 4 inches long. Season all over with 1½ teaspoons of salt. Refrigerate until ready to dredge.
- Place the flour in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with 2 tablespoons of water. In a third shallow bowl, mix the Panko breadcrumbs, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- Dredge each piece of fish in flour, then egg, and then coat it with the Panko mixture.
- Spray the basket of an air fryer with olive oil cooking spray. Place half of the breaded fish pieces in the basket in a single layer, leaving space between each piece. Spray the fish well with the olive oil spray.
- Cook at 400°F for 6 minutes. Flip the fish pieces and spray the other side well with olive oil spray. Cook for 4 to 6 more minutes or until golden brown and the internal temperature of each piece reaches 145°F.
- Repeat to cook the remaining half of the fish. Serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
Notes
- If you use frozen fish, thaw it first and pat the fillets very dry with paper towels to prevent soggy fish sticks.
- Cut fish into equal pieces. The more uniform the fish sticks are in size, the more evenly they will cook.
- Add extra seasonings. Season with extra salt or a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning after cooking. You can also add garlic powder, smoked paprika, and dried herbs to the breading mixture.
- Add parmesan cheese to the breading. Replace ¼ cup of the panko breadcrumbs with an equal amount of grated parmesan cheese for a more savory flavor.
- For the crispiest air fryer fish fingers, it’s best to serve these straight from the air fryer. Or, hold the fish warm in a 200°F oven on a wire rack.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. Leave enough space between the fish pieces so the hot air can circulate freely for crispy homemade fish sticks.
