AIR FRYER FISH STICKS

Steps:

• Pat fish dry with paper towels and cut into 1x3-inch sticks.
• Place flour in a shallow dish. Beat egg in a separate shallow dish. Combine panko, Parmesan cheese, parsley, paprika, and pepper in a third shallow dish.
• Coat each fish stick in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and finally coat in seasoned panko mixture.
• Spray the basket of the air fryer with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange 1/2 the sticks in the basket, making sure none are touching. Spray the top of each stick with cooking spray.

AIR FRYER GARLIC PARMESAN CRUSTED WHITE FISH (KETO)

Steps:

• Preheat the Air Fryer at 380°F/193°C for 5 minutes.Place the parmesan in a shallow bowl & set aside.
• Drizzle olive oil liberally over fish or spray with oil spray. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, & paprika. Press fish into the cheese mixture and coat both sides of the fish filets. If you want the cheese to stick more you can dip the fish in beaten egg before pressing into the cheese. The egg will add more calories.
• Line air fryer basket or tray with perforated parchment paper. Lightly spray parchment paper with oil spray. Lay coated fish on the parchment. Lightly spray the top of the fish filets with oil spray.
• Air Fry at 380°F/193°C for about 6-12 minutes, or until the fish can be flaked with a fork. Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the fish and the style of your air fryer.Top with chopped parsley, serve with lemon wedges.

AIR FRYER PARMESAN-CRUSTED FISH STICKS

Steps:

• Prepare cajun tartar sauce. Add all ingredients to a small bowl and whisk well to combine. Cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour prior to serving.
• Cut fish into 3" by 1/2" strips. *The easiest way to make these uniform in size that I found was cutting the filet down the center, then cutting each half in half again length-wise, then finally cutting in half width-wise.
• Create a dredging station. Add breadcrumbs and shredded parmesan to one bowl. Add minced garlic, black pepper, cajun seasoning, mayo, sour cream, and dijon mustard to a separate bowl and whisk to combine.
• Dip the fish into the bowl with mayo, then roll in the breadcrumb and parmesan mix. Repeat with all fish sticks.
• Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or foil and place fish inside. Spray fish lightly with canola oil. Depending on the size of the air fryer this may take 2 batches. Do not stack the fish sticks or crowd them
• Set the air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook for 5 minutes, flip, and cook for 5 more minutes.
• Serve with cajun tartar sauce. Enjoy!

PARMESAN FISH STICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a sheet pan with the olive oil.
• Cut the fish fillets into 2 1/2-inch-long and 1-inch-wide strips.
• Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
• Combine the breadcrumbs, parsley and butter with a fork in a separate shallow bowl. Add the Parmesan and stir to combine.
• Beat the eggs in a third bowl.
• Bread the fish by giving the strips a good coating of the seasoned flour. Tap off any excess. Dip in the beaten eggs until coated. Roll the egg-coated fish in the crumb mixture. If need be, press the breadcrumbs into the fish. Place on the oiled sheet pan.
• Bake for 10 minutes, then flip the fish sticks and continue cooking until the breading is deep golden and the fish is cooked through, about another 8 minutes.
• Serve with ketchup.
