Air Fryer Frozen Fish Sticks Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Pat fish dry with paper towels and cut into 1x3-inch sticks.
• Place flour in a shallow dish. Beat egg in a separate shallow dish. Combine panko, Parmesan cheese, parsley, paprika, and pepper in a third shallow dish.
• Coat each fish stick in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and finally coat in seasoned panko mixture.
• Spray the basket of the air fryer with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange 1/2 the sticks in the basket, making sure none are touching. Spray the top of each stick with cooking spray.
• Cook in the preheated air fryer for 5 minutes. Flip fish sticks and cook an additional 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining fish sticks.

Steps:

• Spray the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer with cooking spray and set aside. Cut the cod into strips, about 3 inches long, 1/2 inch wide and 1/2 inch thick. Pat dry between a couple paper towels, then season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Whisk the flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a shallow bowl. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt in a second shallow bowl. Whisk the breadcrumbs, Pecorino Romano and seafood seasoning in a third shallow bowl until combined. Dip a piece of fish in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the beaten egg. Dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, turning until evenly coated. Transfer to a large plate or a rimmed baking sheet and continue until all the fish are coated.
• Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. Working in batches, place some of the fish sticks in the fryer basket in a single layer, then spray lightly with more nonstick cooking spray. Cook until the fish sticks are golden brown and opaque throughout, flipping halfway through, 3 to 4 minutes a side.
• Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce, for dipping.
