Crispy Air Fryer Cod Fillets
Ingredients
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 4 (4 ounce) frozen cod fillets
  • nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
1
Preheat the air fryer to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit for five minutes to ensure optimal performance.
2
Prepare the air fryer by lining its basket with a heat-resistant, perforated parchment round to facilitate easy cleanup and prevent food from sticking.
3
Meanwhile, in a separate dish, whisk the egg until it reaches a light, lemon-colored hue and becomes frothy. Add a small amount of salt to enhance flavor.
4
In another dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs with ranch seasoning for a savory and aromatic coating.
5
Dip each cod fillet into the egg mixture, coating it evenly, then roll it in the panko-ranch mixture to create a crunchy exterior.
6
Gently place the breaded cod fillets into the prepared air fryer basket, taking care not to overcrowd it.
7
Lightly spray the breaded cod fillets with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
8
Air-fry the cod fillets in the preheated air fryer for approximately eight minutes, or until they reach a golden brown color.
9
Carefully flip the cod fillets over and spray them with non-stick cooking spray again. Continue air-frying until the cod flakes easily with a fork, indicating it is cooked through and tender.
