Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 2 large eggs
- 1 medium lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0 cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Pat the white fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the fish fillets. Lightly rub to ensure even coverage and set aside.
Step 4
In a shallow dish, mix together gluten-free breadcrumbs, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 5
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until they are well blended.
Step 6
Dip each fish fillet in the beaten eggs, thoroughly coating both sides.
Step 7
Transfer the egg-coated fish to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere crumbs to all sides.
Step 8
Lightly spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 9
Place the fish fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 10
Spray the top of the fish with cooking spray for added crispiness.
Step 11
Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 6 minutes, then carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 6 minutes, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 12
Once cooked, remove the fish from the air fryer and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Step 13
Serve immediately, ideally with lemon wedges or a dipping sauce of your choice.
