Air Fryer Parmesan Crusted Fish Sticks Food

EASY AIR FRYER PARMESAN-CRUSTED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Place the frozen tilapia fillets on an aluminum or stainless steel baking pan while preheating air fryer and measuring ingredients.
• Crazy Good Tip: These few minutes on the baking pan will ever so slightly thaw the fillets just enough to allow the breadcrumbs to stick to the oil on them. Here's the article from The Kitchn spelling out the details of why placing frozen fish and meat on aluminum and stainless steel thaws significantly quicker than stone, wood or plastic surfaces.
• Preheat air fryer to 390-400 degrees for 3 minutes. Most air fryers preset "air fryer" button is 390F to 400F degrees.
• Spray or coat fish fillets with olive oil sprayer or mister or brush with olive oil. (Not Pam aerosol vegetable cooking spray)
• Sprinkle both sides of fillets with salt and if desired, pepper.
• Sprinkle the top side of fillets with Parmesan cheese.
• Place the dry breadcrumbs on a plate and gently press the fish into the breadcrumbs to coat them. If you have trouble getting the breadcrumbs to stick to the fish, wait just a few minutes or
• I like to spray the breaded fish again on top with a little bit of olive oil spray (again, not aerosol)
• Frozen fish: Air Fry at 390-400 degrees for 9 t0 11 minutes, without turning, depending on thickness of fish until fish flakes easily in the center.
• Fresh fish: Air Fry at 390-400 degrees for 7 minutes, without turning, depending on thickness of fish until fish flakes easily in the center.
• Carefully remove the fish with a silicone coated spatula to prevent scraping the nonstick surface.

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.

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!
