Air Fryer Crispy Cod
Ingredients
  • olive oil cooking spray
  • 1 pound cod, about 1-inch thick, cut into 4 pieces
  • 1/4 cup polenta
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
1
Preheat your air fryer to a high temperature of 380 degrees Fahrenheit (or the equivalent in degrees Celsius, which is 195 degrees).
2
Using a non-stick cooking spray, lightly coat the air fryer basket to prevent food from sticking.
3
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels, removing excess moisture to ensure even cooking.
4
Mix together polenta, flour, seafood seasoning, garlic salt, onion powder, pepper, and paprika in a shallow dish.
5
Gently press the cod fillets into the polenta mixture, coating them evenly on all sides.
6
Arrange the coated cod pieces in a single layer within the prepared air fryer basket, leaving enough space between each piece for adequate air circulation.
7
Spray a light layer of cooking spray onto the tops of the cod pieces to enhance browning and crispiness.
8
Place the coated cod in the preheated air fryer and cook for 8 minutes, flipping each piece halfway through.
9
After the initial 8 minutes have passed, give each cod piece a light misting of cooking spray to promote even browning.
10
Continue cooking for an additional 4 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and crispy.
