Air Fryer Fish Sticks Recipe

Author: This Worthey Life

Ingredients

  • 2 fillets frozen
  • Sea salt
  • Black pepper grounded
  • ¼ cup or 25 grams breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup or 50 grams panko crumbs
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley or 1 teaspoon old bay
  • 1 egg
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  • Thaw fish and let it drain. Use a  piece of paper towel and gently remove the excess water.
    Preheat the air fryer to 400 F. Grease the basket with cooking spray.
    In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, breadcrumbs, panko crumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and parsley.
    In another bowl, beat the egg with a fork.
    With a sharp knife, cut the fillet into sticks 1 inch wide by 2 inches long.
    Dunk each piece of fish into the egg bowl then toss into the crumbs bowl. Make sure to coat each side of the fish.
    Press crumbs gently with a spoon to make sure that it sticks to the fish.
    Place some fish sticks in the air fryer basket. Keep a bit of space in between. Spray with cooking spray.
    Cook for 5 minutes on one side then flip and cook another 5 minutes on the other side.
    Remove and repeat the same with other fish sticks. You might need to cook into 2 or 3 batches.
    Serve with fries and your favorite sauce. I used spicy mayonnaise.
