Description

A delightful dish featuring fish seasoned with lemon and herbs, air fried until golden and crispy, perfect for fall gatherings or weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

  • 2 fillets of white fish (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (gluten-free if desired)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving


Instructions

  1. Prep the fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel.
  2. Prepare the coating: Set up three shallow bowls: flour seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder; beaten egg; and a mixture of breadcrumbs, lemon zest, parsley, dill, and paprika.
  3. Coat the fish: Dredge fillets in flour, dip into egg, then press into breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  5. Air fry the fish: Spray the basket with olive oil, place fillets without touching, spray tops, and cook for 8-10 minutes flipping halfway until golden brown.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Remove fish, serve hot with lemon wedges.

Notes

Choose fresh fish for the best flavor, avoid overcrowding the air fryer, and feel free to experiment with herbs.
