Ingredients

nonstick cooking spray
4 cups cabbage slaw mix
1 tablespoon chopped fresh jalapeno pepper
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

¼ cup yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
1 pound cod fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
8 (6 inch) corn tortillas

Steps:

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray.
Combine cabbage slaw, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Mix until evenly combined and set aside.
Mix together flour, cornmeal, and taco seasoning in a separate bowl. Add fish pieces and toss until evenly coated, discarding any remaining seasoning mix. Place in the prepared air fryer basket and mist lightly with cooking spray.
Cook fish in the preheated air fryer for 5 minutes. Shake the basket, and cook until fish is crispy and flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes more. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.

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.

Ingredients

½ cup mayonnaise
2 ½ teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 cup gluten-free panko bread crumbs

Steps:

Combine mayonnaise and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl. Place bread crumbs on a plate.
Spread Cajun mayonnaise on both sides of fish fillets with a small spatula or butter knife. Coat each fillet, one at a time, with bread crumbs. Lightly spray both sides of breaded fillets with cooking spray and transfer 2 fillets to each air fryer tray; do not overcrowd.
Turn an air fryer to the Roast setting (375 degrees F (190 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions and set timer to 14 minutes. Rotate trays at 7 minutes. Fish should flake easily with a fork.
Carefully remove fillets from the trays and serve.

Tips:

Choose the freshest fish possible. Fresh fish will have a mild, briny smell and firm, moist flesh. Avoid fish that smells fishy or has dry, flaky flesh.
Pat the fish dry before cooking. This will help the coating adhere to the fish and prevent it from steaming.
Use a light coating of oil or cooking spray. This will help the coating crisp up and prevent the fish from sticking to the air fryer basket.
Preheat the air fryer to the desired temperature before cooking the fish. This will help the fish cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
Cook the fish in a single layer. This will ensure that the fish cooks evenly and doesn't steam.
Flip the fish halfway through cooking. This will help the fish cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly and may cause the coating to fall off.
Serve the fish immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Air fryer fish is a quick, easy, and healthy way to cook fish. It's a great option for busy weeknight meals or when you're looking for a light and flavorful dish. With a little experimentation, you can create a variety of delicious air fryer fish recipes that your whole family will love.
