Ingredients
  

  • Here's what you will need for the basic air fryer cod recipe:
  • 4 cod fillets about 6 ounces each
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs or Panko for extra crunch
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional: Lemon wedges and fresh parsley for garnish
  • Substitutions: You can use other white fish fillets if cod is unavailable. Whole wheat breadcrumbs or almond flour can be a great alternative for gluten-free options. I sometimes add different spices like Cajun seasoning for a kick!

Method
 

  1. Let’s get cooking step by step!
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your cod gets that nice crispy outside.
  3. Prepare the coating: In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well!
  4. Brush the cod fillets: Lightly brush each fillet with olive oil, ensuring it’s coated well. This helps the breading adhere.
  5. Dredge the fillets: Working one at a time, coat each fillet in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to make sure it sticks. Place coated fillets on a plate.
  6. Arrange in the air fryer: Place the fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to allow for even cooking.
  7. Cook your cod: Air fry for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the fish is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
  8. Garnish and serve: Once done, take them out and serve your delicious cod with lemon wedges and sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish.

Notes

Make sure your cod is thawed fully before cooking to ensure even cooking.
- If your air fryer has a smaller capacity, you may need to cook in batches.
- Don’t skip the olive oil; it helps crisp up the coating nicely.
