Units
Scale
- 1 pound cod filets
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Season the Cod: Season 1 pound cod filets with salt and pepper to taste on both sides.
- Prepare Breading Station: Create a breading station for the cod by gathering 3 bowls. Add ½ cup flour to the first bowl. Dip each cod filet in the flour first.
- Egg Dip: Whisk together 2 large eggs and ½ teaspoon salt in the second bowl. Then dip the floured filet in the egg mixture.
- Panko Coating: Combine 1 cup panko bread crumbs, ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder in the third bowl. Dip each egg-coated filet in the panko mixture.
- Air Fry: Spray the bottom of your air fryer basket with olive oil spray, then place the breaded filets in the basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.
- Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the fish and continue to cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Notes
- For extra crispy coating, spray the breaded cod filets with olive oil spray before air frying.
- Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your cod filets.
- Serve with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
- You can use other white fish such as haddock or tilapia.
