Air Fryer Garlic Crusted Fish
Description
This recipe prepares white fish filets such as halibut, mahi mahi, or cod by patting them dry and brushing with olive oil. The fish is then pressed into a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and dried parsley, which forms a crust around each filet. The fish is placed in a preheated air fryer basket, sprayed lightly with oil to encourage browning.
The high heat and air circulation of the air fryer cook the fish quickly—typically 10 to 12 minutes—flipping halfway to achieve an even golden crust. The result is a fish with a crispy exterior and tender, flaky flesh inside. This method uses less oil than traditional frying while still providing a crunchy coating.
The fish can be served immediately with a squeeze of lemon or accompanied by dipping sauces, complementing simple vegetables or a fresh salad. This approach works well for home cooks seeking an easy way to prepare fish with a satisfying texture.
Ingredients
- 4 filets white fish halibut, mahi mahi, cod, or similar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley dried
- cooking oil spray
Instructions
- Heat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for at least 5 minutes.
- Pat 4 filets white fish dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet evenly with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley.
- Press each filet into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
- Arrange the coated filets in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them for air circulation. Spray the tops lightly with cooking oil spray.
- Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping the filets halfway through, until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a squeeze of lemon. Enjoy!
