Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces of pollock fillets
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs you can substitute with crushed crackers or panko for more crunch
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 eggs for an egg wash; can use flaxseed meal mixed with water for a vegan option
  • Cooking spray or olive oil optional, for added crispiness

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the pollock gets cooked through and crispy.
  2. Prepare the Pollock: Pat the pollock fillets dry with a paper towel; this helps remove excess moisture. This is a key step because too much moisture can prevent a crisp texture.
  3. Mix the Coating: In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is evenly mixed.
  4. Egg Wash: In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. If using the vegan option, mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 2.5 tablespoons of water and let it sit for a few minutes to thicken.
  5. Dip the Fillets: First, dip each pollock fillet in the egg wash, coating both sides well. Then, dredge them in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating adheres properly.
  6. Place in the Air Fryer: Arrange the breaded fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they aren’t overcrowded; you may need to cook them in batches.
  7. Cooking Time: Air fry the pollock for about 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through. They should be golden brown and easily flake when tested with a fork.
  8. Serve: Once cooked, remove them from the air fryer, serve hot, and enjoy them with your favourite dipping sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
