Zesty Ranch Air Fryer Fish Fillets
This recipe creates crispy fish fillets coated with a zesty ranch-flavored crumb mixture cooked in an air fryer. The fillets are dipped in beaten egg then coated in breadcrumbs mixed with dry ranch dressing and oil, producing a crunchy, seasoned crust. Cooking in the air fryer at 350°F yields a tender fish inside with a crisp outside without deep frying, making it a practical option for a flavorful seafood meal.
