Air Fryer Haddock
Description
This recipe involves preparing haddock fillets that are first patted dry to ensure the coating adheres properly. The breadcrumb mixture combines panko, grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, dill, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Each fillet is brushed with mayonnaise on both sides, which acts as a binder for the crumb mixture. After coating, the fillets are lightly drizzled or brushed with olive oil to promote crispiness during cooking.
The fillets are arranged in a single layer in an air fryer and cooked at 400°F for around 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown. The result is a crispy exterior with moist, tender haddock inside. Cooking times may vary depending on fillet size, so checking for doneness with a thermometer is recommended.
The dish pairs well with lemon wedges for bright acidity. Proper air circulation in the fryer basket and thawing and drying the fillets thoroughly contribute to the best texture. Placing the fillets skin-side down if skin is present helps crisp the skin for added texture.
Ingredients
- 4 haddock fillets
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 tablespoon parsley dried
- 2 teaspoons dill dried
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise depending on how large your fillets are
- lemon for serving, wedges
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F . Meanwhile, pat the haddock fillets dry with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, parsley, dill, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.
- Lightly brush each fillet with mayonnaise, making sure to coat both sides. This will act as a binding agent for the breadcrumb mixture. Next, dip the mayonnaise-coated cod into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to make sure the crumbs adhere to the fish.
- Drizzle with Oil or Butter: Place the coated fillets on a plate or tray and lightly drizzle with olive oil or brush with melted butter. This will help in achieving a crispy golden crust.
- Carefully place the haddock fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren't touching or overlapping. Cook at 400°F for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the coating is golden brown. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fillets, so check the fish at 10 minutes.
- Once done, carefully remove the haddock fillets from the air fryer and place them on serving plates. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even air circulation around each filet.
- Fully thaw frozen haddock fillets and pat dry before seasoning to ensure even coating adhesion.
- Check doneness by using a food thermometer; cooked haddock should reach 145°F internal temperature and flake easily.
- Cooking time varies with fillet size; monitor closely toward the end of cooking to avoid overcooking.
- If fillets have skin, place them skin-side down in the air fryer for a crisper texture.
