Air Fryer fish is perfectly flaky inside with a breading that cooks up golden and crispy without much oil! Works with any white fish like tilapia or cod. Making breaded fish in the air fryer is so much easier and less messy than frying it! The fish comes out perfectly flaky and moist with a delicious crispy crust on
the outside that cooks evenly all around. 20 minutes is all you need when the craving for classic fish and chips hits! This air-fried fish is a hit with kids and adults alike and goes perfectly with some tartar sauce on the side and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Cooking fish fillets in the Air Fryer takes only 10-12 minutes at 400 degrees F. The fish is done when it can be easily flaked with a fork. What is the best way to defrost fish? The best way to defrost fish is overnight in the refrigerator. But if you are in a hurry, use this method: To quickly thaw fish put your frozen fish in an airtight plastic bag or leave it in its vacuum packaging and put it in a big bowl filled with water that’s a little bit cooler than room temperature. Use thawed fish right away. How to make sure that the breading sticks to the fish? To
make sure the breading adheres to the fillets, shake off any excess flour and egg during the breading process. Use your hands to carefully press the panko onto the fish fillets and be gentle when you transfer and flip the breaded fish fillets. Serve it withBreaded fish tastes best hot with some lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fillets. I also like to serve it with a dipping sauce like tartar sauce or my homemade Aioli sauce. But you can also keep it simple and dip it in some ketchup! Here are a few other recipes that pair perfectly with our Air Fryer Fish recipe:
