Description

These delicious air fryer cod bites are easy to make and perfect for any seafood lover!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb cod (or tilapia is great because it is firmer than others, cubed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour (or just use a boxed fish breading)
  • 1 tbsp Old Bay
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt (+ extra to sprinkle directly on fish)
  • 1/4 tsp pepper (+ extra to sprinkle directly on fish)
  • 1 spray olive oil

Instructions

  1. Cube deboned fish into bite size pieces. Lightly sprinkle pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. In a shallow bowl mix together flour, salt, pepper, Old Bay, and garlic powder.
  3. In another bowl whisk eggs.
  4. One at a time, coat fish piece in flour mixture, then dip and coat with egg (allow excess to drip off), and then coat again with flour mixture.
  5. Preheat air fryer to 380 degrees F for 5 minutes.
  6. Spray basket with olive oil spray and put coated pieces inside in one layer without overlapping.
  7. Spray top of fish bites with olive oil spray so flour is moist.
  8. Close basket once full and cook for 8 minutes total. Flip pieces over after minute 4 and spray olive oil spray on top of pieces again.
  9. Remove, taste, sprinkle more salt and pepper on if desired, and enjoy with tartar sauce.

Notes

  • You can coat using a bagged fish breading mixture if you want or mix flour and seasonings together.
