Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these air-fried fish fillets are coated in seasoned bread crumbs and cooked to perfection without deep frying. A quick, light meal ready in minutes.
Ingredients
1 cup dry bread crumbs
¼ cup vegetable oil
4 flounder fillets (or any white fish of your choice)
1 egg, beaten
1 lemon, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs and vegetable oil together until the mixture is loose and crumbly.
Coat the Fish: Dip each fish fillet into the beaten egg, letting any excess drip off. Then coat the fillets thoroughly in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even layer.
Air Fry: Place the breaded fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12 minutes, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve: Garnish with fresh lemon slices and serve immediately.
Pro Tip
For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder, paprika, or dried herbs to the bread crumbs before coating the fish.
