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.
