Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb white fish fillets (cod, halibut, tilapia, etc.)
  • Ice water, beaten egg, milk, or mayo (to moisten the fish)
  • 1 cup Shake ’n Bake Style Seasoned Coating Mix (approximately)
  • Oil spray (to coat the fish)
  • Favorite dip: tartar sauce, mustard, aioli, etc.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for 4 minutes.
  • Cut fish fillets into even halves if needed for uniform cooking. Moisten each fillet with your chosen liquid (ice water, egg, milk, or mayo) and coat generously with the seasoned mix.
  • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil or use a perforated parchment liner coated with oil.
  • Arrange the coated fish in a single layer, ensuring pieces don't touch. Lightly spray the tops of the fish with oil.
  • Air fry at 380°F (195°C) for 8-14 minutes. Flip the fish halfway through (around 6 minutes). Lightly spray any dry spots and continue cooking until golden brown, crispy, and the fish flakes easily.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite dip like tartar sauce, mustard, or aioli!
