- 2 large Eggs Beaten
- ½ cup Flour For dredging
- to taste Spices: garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil Optional for drizzling
Instructions
Preparation
- Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to ensure they are free of excess moisture.
- In a shallow dish, mix the flour with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Coat each cod fillet in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring all sides are coated.
- Press the cod into the breadcrumbs until evenly covered.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) for about 5 minutes.
Cooking
- Place the battered cod fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- If desired, drizzle with olive oil. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
Notes
For extra crunch, double-bread the fillets. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer for maximum crispiness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat in the air fryer for 5 minutes.
