GLUTEN-FREE CRISPY CAJUN FISH FILLETS IN THE AIR FRYER



Gluten-Free Crispy Cajun Fish Fillets in the Air Fryer image

Cajun fish fillets made in the air fryer pack just enough heat and are perfectly crispy using gluten-free panko bread crumbs. I serve these as sandwiches on a gluten-free bun with lettuce, tomatoes, tartar sauce, and Cheddar cheese slices. Alternatively, you can skip the bun and serve in lettuce wraps or with a salad.

CAJUN AIR FRYER SALMON

Full of flavor with a hint of sweetness, this moist and delicious salmon is ready in under 10 minutes! You may want to add salt before serving if you are using an unsalted Cajun seasoning. I like to use a Misto® sprayer with my own oil, but feel free to use regular cooking spray. For best results, use center-cut fillets that are about an inch thick.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Fish: For this recipe, mild-flavored white fish like cod, tilapia, or haddock works best. Avoid fish with a strong flavor, such as salmon or tuna.
  • Make Your Own Cajun Seasoning: To customize the flavor, make your own Cajun seasoning blend using paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and thyme. Adjust the measurements to suit your taste preferences.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Air Fryer Basket: To ensure even cooking, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cook the fish in batches if necessary.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheating the air fryer helps achieve a crispy crust on the fish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for preheating time and temperature.
  • Watch the Cooking Time: Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the fish fillets. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the fish. It should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for flaky and cooked fish.
