Easy Air Fryer Cod Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1 pinch salt
• 0.75 cup panko bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
• 4 (4 ounce) frozen cod fillets
• nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking. Place a perforated parchment paper round in the air fryer basket for easy cleanup.
2. In a shallow dish, whisk the egg with a pinch of salt until light and frothy. In a separate shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and ranch seasoning.
3. Dip each cod fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge the fillet in the panko mixture, pressing gently to help the breadcrumbs adhere. Place the breaded cod fillets in the prepared air fryer basket and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
4. Air fry the cod fillets in the preheated air fryer for approximately 8 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets, spray again with nonstick spray, and continue air frying until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 7 minutes more.
