Ingredients
– 4 cod fillets (6 oz each)
– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 large egg
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
– Lemon wedges (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your Crispy Air Fryer Parmesan Cod:
1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare the Breading Mixture: In a bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
3. Prepare the Egg Wash: In another bowl, beat the egg and add olive oil. Mix until combined.
4. Coat the Cod: Dip each cod fillet into the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Then, coat the fillet with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the coated cod fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow even cooking.
6. Cook the Cod: Air fry the cod at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip the fillets and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
7. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the cod reaches 145°F (63°C).
8. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the cod from the air fryer and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Enjoy your Crispy Air Fryer Parmesan Cod hot and fresh!
