Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Create a breading station with flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with herbs and spices in a third.
  3. Dredge each cod fillet in flour, dip in eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes and lightly brush the basket with olive oil.
  5. Arrange coated fillets in a single layer in the air fryer, avoiding overcrowding.
  6. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and fish flakes easily.
  7. Serve with fresh lemon wedges on the side.
