Ingredients
Air Fryer Cod
- 1 lb cod filets cut into 4 pieces
- salt & pepper to taste
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg beaten
- ⅔ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¾ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ¾ tsp Old Bay or seasoning of choice as desired (lemon pepper, paprika, a mix, etc.)
Taco Fillings & Topping Ideas
- 8 small soft flour tortillas
- ½ cup shredded purple cabbage
- ½ cup shredded lettuce
- 1 avocado sliced
- ¼ cup tartar sauce
- 1-2 lemons sliced into wedges
- mango salsa
Instructions
- Cut fish filets as needed and pat dry on both sides. Once dry, season to taste with salt and pepper to taste.
- Set up dredging station with 3 shallow dishes/bowls. Fill one dish with flour, another dish with whisked egg, and final dish with panko, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings.
- Coat each fish filet in flour, then egg, and then panko, pressing to coat well.
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Spray air fryer basket and add coated fish filets to preheated air fryer.
- Cook for 10-13 minutes, depending on size of filets. (Cook through to 145°F / 63°C.)
- If desired, flip halfway through. (I personally don’t flip them & they turn out great!)
- Allow cooked fish to rest a few minutes before slicing.
- Assemble fish tacos with desired fillings and tartar sauce. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and enjoy.
- Optional: serve in taco stand for fun presentation flair!
- Yields 8 cod fish tacos.
