Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cod fillets
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder and smoked paprika.
- Dredge each cod fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess.
- Dip the floured cod fillet into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Coat the cod fillet in the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the coated cod fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd.
- Spray the tops of the cod fillets lightly with cooking spray.
- Cook in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, or until the cod is golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the cod from the air fryer and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh cod for the best flavor and texture.
