Ingredients

Ingredients:

1 pound cod cut into bite sized pieces
salt and pepper
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 eggs beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
non-stick spray

Instructions

Season the fish pieces lightly with salt and pepper.
Set up an assembly line with 3 bowls: flour in one shallow bowl, beaten eggs together in another bowl and the panko, salt, and granulated garlic in another bowl.
Dredge the pieces in the flour, then dip in eggs and press into bread crumbs.
Spray the air fryer rack and the fish with non-stick spray. Air fry at 400 degrees for 8 - 10 minutes. Turn halfway through and spray once more with non-stick spray.
If cooking in batches, place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and put cooked fish pieces on top. Place in a warm oven until all fish is cooked.

Notes

Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the fish in batches. You want it to be in a single layer when cooking.

I keep the cooked in a warm oven while I'm cooking all the batches. Don't cover with aluminum foil as it tends to steam the outside so it won't be as crispy. Instead, I like to place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and put the cooked fish on that. It allows the air to circulate around the fish.
