Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 18

12 ounces white fish
1/2 cup beer
2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon old bay
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2-3 large russet potatoes, peeled
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Malt Vinegar
Tartar Sauce
Lemon Wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
  • Peel and then cut the potatoes lengthwise into thick slices that are about 1/2 inch thick. Pat them dry.
  • Place the potato slices into a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
  • Cook the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer for 7-10 minutes, toss the fries and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes (or until the fries have reached your desired crispness). [Note: You will likely need to do multiple batches in order to cook all the fries. Do not overcrowd your air fryer or they will not get crispy.]
  • Cut the white fish into filets that are about 4 inches each.
  • In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of the all-purpose flour with the cornstarch, baking soda, egg, and beer. You should have a thick batter.
  • In another bowl, combine the remaining flour with the salt, pepper, old bay, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Dip each filet of white fish first into the flour mixture so that they are all coated.
  • Then use tongs to dip each filet into the beer batter, gently shaking off any excess batter, and then into the flour mix again, making sure to evenly coat each side.
  • Finally, recoat the filet in the batter and place it on a piece of greased aluminum foil cut to fit your air fryer basket.
  • Cook the fish in a single layer in the air fryer for 5-7 minutes before flipping and cooking an additional 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the fish in two batches so that it can cook and brown evenly. Do not overcrowd your fryer.
  • Serve immediately.

AIR-FRYER BEER-BATTERED FISH



Air-Fryer Beer-Battered Fish image

We love a crispy piece of beer-battered fish, but we don't always want the calories that come with deep-frying. So we turned to the air fryer to develop a recipe with all the characteristics of the traditional dish-a light, crunchy-yet-airy exterior and a flaky, luscious interior. The secret to this recipe is in the method. Traditionally, the fish would go into a wet beer batter and then cook in hot oil. But in order to work in the air fryer, we needed to make some important changes. Get all the step-by-steps below, and learn how we tweaked the process, from the dredge to the oil, to create crispy air-fried fish.

Categories     Healthy Air Fryer Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ¼ pounds skinless cod fillet, about 1 inch thick, cut into 8 portions
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons paprika
Pinch of cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt, divided
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup beer, preferably lager
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Olive oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Pat fish dry; refrigerate while making batter.
  • Whisk 3/4 cup flour, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper in a shallow dish; set aside. Whisk the remaining 1 cup flour and baking soda in a medium bowl. Add beer and egg and whisk until smooth (the batter should be thick). Refrigerate the batter.
  • Preheat air fryer to 390°F (see Tip). Coat the basket generously with cooking spray. Remove the fish and batter from the refrigerator and set a large rimmed baking sheet on the counter. Pat the fish dry again. Lightly dredge each piece of fish in the flour-spice mixture, tapping off excess, and transfer to one half of the baking sheet. Spread the remaining flour-spice mixture on the other half of the baking sheet.
  • Using 2 forks, dip a piece of fish into the batter, letting excess batter drip off, then place in the flour-spice mixture, gently flipping until well coated. Repeat with the remaining fish. Once all the fish is coated, spray the top side with cooking spray until no dry flour remains. Arrange the fish pieces sprayed-side down in the air-fryer basket, without touching. Generously spray the tops and sides of the fish with cooking spray. Cook until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 13 minutes. Gently remove the fish with a flexible spatula (some batter may stick to the bottom of the basket). Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and serve immediately.

TARTAR SAUCE-BATTERED FISH STICKS IN THE AIR FRYER



Tartar Sauce-Battered Fish Sticks in the Air Fryer image

Homemade crispy fish sticks in an air fryer. Unlike most air fryer recipes, this one does not require cooking spray or flipping halfway through cook time. An added bonus is that you don't need dipping sauce, because it is already in the batter.

AIR FRYER FISH AND CHIPS

This method takes a little longer to ensure the batter adheres to the fillets, so it's best to plan in advance.

Provided by thedailygourmet

Categories     Side Dish     Potato Side Dish Recipes

Time 2h

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 russet potato
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup malt beer
4 (3 ounce) fillets cod fillets

Steps:

  • Peel russet potato and cut into 12 wedges. Pour 3 cups water into a medium bowl and submerge potato wedges for 15 minutes. Drain off water and replace with fresh water. Soak wedges for 15 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix together flour, cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, baking soda, and baking powder in a bowl. Pour in 1/2 cup malt beer and stir to combine. If batter seems too thick, add remaining beer 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Place cod fillets on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a drip rack. Spoon 1/2 of the batter over the fillets. Place rack in freezer to allow batter to solidify, about 35 minutes. Flip fillets over and coat the remaining side with the batter. Return to freezer for an additional 35 minutes.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 8 minutes.
  • Cook frozen fish fillets for 15 minutes, flipping at the halfway point.
  • Meanwhile, drain off water from potato wedges and blot dry with a paper towel. Toss with oil, salt, and pepper. Air fry for 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality beer. The type of beer you use will affect the flavor of your fish, so choose one that you enjoy drinking. A light beer will produce a light and crispy batter, while a dark beer will produce a richer, more flavorful batter.
  • Make sure your batter is cold. This will help the batter to adhere to the fish and prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the fish until it is golden brown and flaky. This will ensure that the fish is cooked through.
  • Serve the fish immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces for beer-battered fish include tartar sauce, malt vinegar, and lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Air fryer beer-battered fish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a restaurant-quality meal in minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood dish, give air fryer beer-battered fish a try.
