Description
A quick and healthy weeknight dinner featuring flaky white fish and golden potato wedges cooked in an air fryer for a crispy texture without the grease of traditional frying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds (680g) white fish fillets (Cod or Haddock)
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup (60ml) milk or buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked paprika recommended)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons chopped pickles
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Pinch of dill
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat fish fillets completely dry with paper towels.
- Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl.
- Mix flour with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a shallow bowl.
- Dip fish fillets into the egg wash, then press firmly into the seasoned flour to coat both sides. Shake off excess flour.
- Cut potatoes into thick wedges and toss with 1 tablespoon of oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Place potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook chips at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through until golden and crispy.
- Remove chips and keep warm.
- Line the air fryer basket with perforated parchment paper.
- Place coated fish fillets in the basket in a single layer without overlapping.
- Spray fish tops lightly with oil spray.
- Cook fish at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until opaque and flaky.
- Let fish rest for 2 minutes before serving.
- Serve immediately with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
Notes
Ensure fish is patted very dry to achieve crispiness. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Tartar sauce can be made by mixing mayonnaise, chopped pickles, lemon juice, and dill.
