Cornflake Crusted Fish – Air Fried
Description
Cornflake Crusted Fish begins with white fish fillets, which are rubbed with a spice mix containing garlic powder, salt, Old Bay seasoning, chili powder, onion powder, and black pepper. The fish is then dipped in seasoned flour, whisked egg, and crushed cornflakes to form a crunchy exterior.
The recipe offers cooking in an air fryer or oven, with air frying at 400°F for about 15 minutes, flipping once for even crisping. Cooking spray helps the cornflake crust brown without frying in oil. The result is a golden, crisp crust encasing tender, flaky fish.
This method provides a flavorful alternative to traditional fried fish with less oil and mess. The seasoned dry rub adds subtle complexity and heat, while the cornflakes create a distinctive crunch different from breadcrumbs.
