  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  • In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Cajun creole seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper and salt.

  • Dip each fish fillet in the egg mixture and dredge in bread crumbs. Spray with a cooking spray and transfer to your air fryer. 
  • Cook at 390°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes. Flip the fish fillets halfway through the total cook time. Remove from the air fryer. Garnish with parsley.
  • Optionally, add the green beans, garlic to a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

  • Enjoy!

Notes

Avoid overcrowding your air fryer basket. Crowded fillets won’t cook on the sides, they have worse heat dispersal, and don’t take on the beautiful golden-brown color that we all love about fried fish.
You may need to adjust your cooking time depending on the thickness of your fish fillets. Different types of fish might also require adjustment to your cooking time, as some varieties of fish have denser flesh than others. You can test the doneness of your fish fillet by taking a fork and seeing how easily the fillet flakes. Cooked fish will flake easily beneath the fork.
