Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb cod or tilapia, cubed
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Old Bay
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt (+ extra to sprinkle directly on fish)
- 1/4 tsp pepper (+ extra to sprinkle directly on fish)
- 1 spray olive oil
Instructions
- Cube deboned fish into bite size pieces. Lightly sprinkle pieces with salt and pepper.
- In a shallow bowl mix together flour, salt, pepper, Old Bay and garlic powder.
- In another bowl whisk eggs.
- One at a time coat fish piece in flour mixture, then dip and coat with egg (allow excess to drip off), and then coat again with flour mixture.
- Preheat air fryer to 380 degrees F for 5 minutes. Spray basket with olive oil spray and put coated pieces inside in one layer without overlapping. Spray top of fish bites with olive oil spray so flour is moist.
- Close basket once full and cook for 8 minutes total. Flip pieces over after minute 4 and spray olive oil spray on top of pieces again.
- Remove, taste, sprinkle more salt and pepper on if desired and enjoy with tartar sauce.
Notes
- You can use a boxed fish breading instead of mixing flour and seasonings if preferred.
- Ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer for even cooking.
