Ingredients
- 4 catfish fillets (6–8 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 cup of cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the cooking environment is ready for immediate sizzle.
2. Spray the air fryer basket with a light coat of olive oil spray. This prevents sticking and helps achieve that golden crust.
3. Place the seasoned catfish fillets in the basket. Make sure they’re not overlapping to allow for even air circulation.
4. Cook for 10 minutes. Halfway through, gently flip the fillets to ensure even cooking and crispiness on both sides.
5. Check for doneness. The catfish should be golden and flake easily with a fork. If needed, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Notes
Always ensure your air fryer is preheated and the basket is not overcrowded. This guarantees your Cajun catfish cooks evenly and ends up with the perfect texture.
