Ingredients
- 4 halibut fillets (6 ounces each)
- 1 cup grated parmesan
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (gluten-free options available)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
1. Dry the Fish: Before anything, get your halibut fillets dry with some paper towels. This step is key for a good crust.
2. Mix the Coating: Grab a bowl, toss in your grated parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, whip up an egg.
3. Dip and Coat: First, dip the fillets in the egg, then coat them evenly with your parmesan mix. Press the mix on gently so it sticks well.
4. Get the Air Fryer Ready: A quick spray of olive oil in the basket helps keep things from sticking and adds a bit of flavor.
5. Lay Out the Fillets: Place your coated fillets in the basket. Make sure they’re not too crowded so they cook up nice and crispy.
6. Time to Cook: Fire up your air fryer to 400°F. You’re looking at about 10-12 minutes of cooking time or until the crust is golden and the fish flakes easily.
7. Is It Done Yet?: Check if your halibut hit that perfect 145°F inside to know it’s cooked through.
8. Serve It Up: Serve the meal once it ready to taste.
Notes
For the best results, don’t skip preheating your air fryer if your model requires it. This step helps achieve a uniformly crispy crust and properly cooked fish.
