Ingredients
 

Crispy Fish Ingredients

  • 4 fish fillets, such as tilapia, swai, haddock, cod or flounder (we use flounder and tilapia a lot)
  • olive oil, for brushing the fish
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp. paprika (I like to use smoked paprika)
  • 1/2 tsp. granulated garlic or garlic powder

Dill Tartar Sauce Ingredients (Tartar sauce is optional but so good!)

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2-3 Tbs. dill pickle relish
  • 1/2 -1 tsp. dried dill weed
  • 1 tsp. granulated sugar

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fish

  • In a shallow bowl, combine the Panko bread crumbs with the spices; season to taste with salt and pepper.
    Brush the fish fillets with oil, using a pastry brush or your fingertips.
  • Dip the fillets on all sides into the prepared bread crumb mixture then place each one onto an oiled air fryer rack in a single layer; spritz with more oil, if desired, to make the topping more crispy as it air fries, if desired.
  • Air fry the fish at 350 degrees F. for 4-5 minutes then turn; spritz the top of the fillets with oil.
    Continue to cook the fish for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the fish is cooked throughout and flakes easily with a fork at the center (or the thickest part of the fillet) when tested.
    Serve the fish warm with the tartar sauce on the side.

Prepare the Tartar Sauce

  • Meanwhile, combine the tartar sauce ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well to combine.
