  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Fish

  • 1 lb white fish fillet (like cod, tilapia, or seabass)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup gluten-free flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Potato Wedges

  • 2 russet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper

Garnish

  • Freshly chopped parsley (to garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F to prepare for cooking the potato wedges.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Rinse and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove dirt, then pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. Cut and Season Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into wedges and place them in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to ensure all wedges are evenly coated.
  4. Cook Potato Wedges: Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness; avoid stacking. If needed, cook in two batches. Air fry at 400°F for 20 minutes, tossing halfway through after 10 minutes.
  5. Keep Wedges Warm: Once cooked, transfer the potato wedges to a platter and cover to keep warm while preparing the fish.
  6. Prepare Fish Dredging Stations: Set up three shallow dishes: beat the egg in one, place gluten-free flour in the second, and panko breadcrumbs on a large plate.
  7. Coat Fish Fillets: Dredge each fish fillet in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
  8. Cook Fish Fillets: Place the breaded fish fillets in the air fryer basket. Cook at 330°F for 15 minutes, flipping the fillets halfway through to ensure even browning and crispness.
  9. Serve: Transfer the cooked fish fillets to the platter with the potato wedges. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite dips.

Notes

  • For best results, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • Use fresh white fish fillets that are firm and thick for optimal texture.
  • Russet potatoes are preferred for crispy, fluffy potato wedges, but other varieties can be used.
  • If cooking in batches, keep the first batch warm in a low oven or covered platter to maintain temperature.
  • This recipe is gluten-free by using gluten-free flour; regular all-purpose flour can be substituted if gluten is not a concern.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, and consider adding garlic powder or paprika to the potato wedges for extra flavor.
