Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh cod cut into filets
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp old bay seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • lemon
  • fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Season cod with salt, pepper and old bay seasoning on both sides. Set aside
  • Prepare two bowls; one with eggs beat and a second bowl with panko breadcrumbs. (See notes)
  • Dip seasoned cod in egg (both sides) then in panko bread crumb mixture.
  • Cook in air fryer for 15-18 minutes at 450F degrees or until cod is flaky and fork tender.
  • Drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Notes: 
  • I used seasoned panko breadcrumbs for extra flavor.
  • Since my panko breadcrumbs were quite grainy, I passed them through a sieve to get a finer texture.
