Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 0.75 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 whole lemon wedges
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Step 4
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until fully mixed.
Step 5
Dip each fish fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated, and then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating to the fish evenly.
Step 6
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Place the coated fish fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches.
Step 8
Air fry the fish for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the fish is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 9
Carefully remove the fish from the air fryer and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
