Ingredients
- 500 grams White fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock)
- 240 milliliters Low-fat buttermilk
- 150 grams Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0 Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
Step 2
In a large bowl, immerse the fish pieces in the low-fat buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to marinate.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Drain the fish pieces from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then coat each piece thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
Step 5
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F) for about 3 minutes.
Step 6
Lightly spray the coated fish pieces with olive oil spray to ensure crispiness. Place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 7
Cook the fish pieces for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the fish pieces from the air fryer and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
