Panko-Crusted Cod: For a breaded version, coat the fillets with panko breadcrumbs before air frying. The panko creates a wonderfully crispy crust that complements the tender fish inside.
Seasoning Options: Experiment with different seasoning blends like Cajun spices, lemon-pepper, or smoked paprika for a unique flavor. You could also add fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or thyme before cooking for an aromatic boost.
Citrus Twist: Squeeze some lemon or lime juice over the fillets before air frying to add a tangy kick to the fish.
Swap the Cod: If you prefer, you can easily substitute cod with other white fish like tilapia, haddock, or sea bass.
Just adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the fish fillets.
Storage and Reheating Tips
If you have leftovers, store the cooked cod in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
When you’re ready to eat, reheat the fillets in the air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes until warmed through. This method keeps the fish crispy, unlike microwaving, which can make it soggy.
