Ingredients

  • 1 pound cod
  • FOR THE BREADING
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Airfryer to 390°F. Cut the cod into strips approximately 1-inch by 2.5-inches in length. In a food processor, blend the panko breadcrumbs, olive oil and salt to a fine crumb. In three separate bowls, set aside panko mixture, eggs and flour.
  2. Place each piece of cod into the flour, then the eggs and then the breadcrumbs. Press the fish firmly into breadcrumbs to ensure that they adhere to the fish. Shake off any excess breadcrumbs. Add the cod nuggets to the cooking basket, cooking for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
Gourmet Geek Tip

Pat the cod dry before breading so the coating sticks. | Leave space between the nuggets to keep the breading crisp. | Serve with: Lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or French fries.
