Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Brush the mixture evenly over both sides of the fish fillets.
Cooking
  1. Place the fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they aren’t overcrowded.
  2. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Serve immediately with lemon wedges, if desired!

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use almond flour or crushed cornflakes instead of breadcrumbs for coating. Adjust the spices based on your family’s taste—add cayenne for heat or herbs for freshness! Leftover fish can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
