Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, mix together the gluten-free panko breadcrumbs, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon zest.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs lightly.
Line up your bowls in this order: egg wash and breadcrumb mixture. Dredge each piece of halibut in the egg, then coat it completely in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Lightly spray the halibut fillets on both sides with olive oil spray.
Carefully place the breaded halibut fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. Cook in batches if necessary.
Air fry the fillets at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
