Crispy fish fillets are a classic dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as vegetables, rice, or potatoes. Crispy fish fillets can be made with a variety of types of fish, including cod, tilapia, and salmon. The key to making crispy fish fillets is to use a light batter that will not weigh down the fish. The batter should also be well-seasoned, so that the fish has plenty of flavor. Once the fish fillets are coated in batter, they should be fried in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.

GLUTEN-FREE CRISPY CAJUN FISH FILLETS IN THE AIR FRYER
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.

Tips:
- Choose the right fish: Not all fish fillets are created equal. For this recipe, a firm, white fish such as cod, halibut, or tilapia is best. Avoid fish that is too oily or flaky, as it will not hold up well during the frying process.
- Use a light batter: A heavy batter will weigh down the fish and make it greasy. Instead, use a light batter made with flour, cornstarch, and eggs. You can also add seasonings such as salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Fry the fish in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the fish is added. This will help create a crispy crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and tender.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the fish will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick together. Cook the fish in batches if necessary.
- Drain the fish on paper towels: Once the fish is cooked, drain it on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
