Tips:

  • Choose the right cod fillets. Look for cod fillets that are firm and white, with no brown or yellow spots. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a lot of bones.
  • Pat the cod fillets dry before cooking. This will help the breading adhere to the fish and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a light hand when breading the cod fillets. You don't want the breading to be too thick, or it will overpower the fish.
  • Preheat your air fryer before cooking the cod fillets. This will help the fillets cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the basket.
  • Cook the cod fillets in a single layer. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking. This will help the fillets cook evenly.
  • Serve the cod fillets immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Crispy air fryer cod is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The cod fillets are coated in a light breading and cooked in an air fryer until they are crispy and golden brown. The result is a flaky and flavorful fish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
