Why Use a Hot Air Fryer?
- Cuts down on oil, making your fish fingers lighter and healthier
- Cooks food quickly and evenly with a delicious crunch
- Easy cleanup—no splattering or heavy frying pans
- Keeps your kitchen cool and odor-free
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 400g white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or pollock), cut into finger-sized strips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 ½ cups breadcrumbs (panko works great for extra crunch)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or a little oil for brushing
How to Make Fish Fingers in the Hot Air Fryer:
- Prepare your fish:
Pat the fish strips dry with paper towels to help the coating stick. - Set up your coating stations:
Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and mix breadcrumbs with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third. - Coat the fish:
Dip each fish strip first in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. - Preheat the air fryer:
Set your air fryer to 200°C (about 390°F) for 3 minutes. - Arrange fish fingers:
Place the coated fish strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking. - Cook:
Spray or brush the fish fingers lightly with oil. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
