Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia)
- 1 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Egg white
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour.
In a separate shallow dish, beat the egg whites until frothy.
In a third shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, lemon zest, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each fish fillet in flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured fillet into the beaten egg whites, ensuring it is completely coated.
Press the fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, covering it evenly.
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the breaded fish fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
Spray the tops of the fillets lightly with cooking spray to help with browning.
Cook in the preheated air fryer for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Serve immediately with lemon wedges or your choice of dipping sauce.
