Ingredients

1 ½ lbs. white fish filets about ¼ to ½-inch thick
½ cup cornmeal medium grind
½ cup all purpose flour or gluten-free 1-to-1
2 tsp. Cajun seasoning or Old Bay
1 tsp. paprika
½ tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt to taste
¼ tsp. black pepper
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. lemon juice

Instructions

Mix together cornmeal, flour, Cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a medium-sized shallow bowl.
Add mayonnaise and lemon juice to a large bowl and whisk until combined.
Place fish filets into the mayonnaise mixture and toss until completely covered.
Dip each filet into the cornmeal mixture and coat all sides.
Place the coated fish filets into a 6-quart Air Fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 400 °F for 8-10 minutes.* Flip filets over after 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining filets.
You’ll know the fish is done cooking when it flakes easily with a fork.
Serve Air Fryer Fish with Tartar Sauce, Remoulade, or Secret Sauce.

Notes

This recipe works well with cod, sole, halibut, or any other firm and mild-tasting white fish.
You’ll need to cook the fish longer for thick filets, and shorter for thinner filets.

To Store: Keep air fried fish in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
To Freeze: Arrange fried fish in a single layer and freeze for 3-4 hours. Then transfer to a freezer safe Ziploc bag for up to 3-4 months.
