Air Fryer Fish Tacos with Blackened Catfish
Ingredients
Air Fryer Blackened Catfish Tacos
- 1 pound catfish
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 1/4 cup Cajun blackening seasoning
- 8 flour tortillas 8-inch
- 1 recipe slaw cilantro and lime
- 1 recipe chipotle aioli recipe below
- salsa for serving, optional, fresh
- lime for serving, optional, wedges
Chipotle Aioli
- 1/4 mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic finely minced
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon adobo sauce from canned chipotles
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Brush the catfish well with the melted butter, then coat the fish with the seasoning, making sure to press it on.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and lay the catfish filets in the basket, making sure not to overcrowd.
- Set the air fryer to 400° and fry each side for 3 minutes.
- Make the slaw by combining the mayonnaise, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder and salt, stirring well. Place the coleslaw, cilantro and jalapeno together in a bowl, then pour the mayonnaise dressing over the coleslaw and toss to coat.
- Heat the tortillas in a pan until lightly blackened, then tear the fish apart and place in the tortillas. Add some slaw, aioli and fresh salsa. Then serve with a lime wedge.
Notes
- Flexibility - These tacos are completely customizable. Top with sliced red onion or hot sauce.
- Best Flavor - For the best-tasting fish, you'll need the best fish. For catfish, unlike other types of fish, this means buying farm-raised catfish instead of wild catfish. Wild catfish will often eat mud, and this can create a muddy taste or fishy taste. However, farm-raised catfish are raised in cleaner environments and do not have a muddy taste.
- Chipotles in Adobo Sauce - A tip I recommend after buying this is to pour the contents of the can into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. This turns it into a sauce you can store more easily and use in sauces and other recipes.
- Garnish - Besides the garnishes mentioned above, you could also garnish the tacos with chopped fresh cilantro or diced jalapenos.
- How Do I Store Fish Tacos? I like to store all the fish taco components separately rather than freezing them all assembled. Place the fish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Can I Freeze Fish Tacos? Yes, you can store the fish in a freezer-safe, airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- How To Reheat Fish Tacos In The Air Fryer? Set the temperature of your air fryer to 375 degrees F. Place the fish tacos in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring that no tacos are touching each other. Set the time for 3 minutes, and let it cook for 3 minutes or until heated through.
