Ingredients
  

  • 6-7 oz Cod fillet
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • ½ Cup Flour
  • ½ Cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • ½ Teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Cut cod fillet into bite-sized nuggets. Pat dry with paper towels and place in a bowl.
  • In one bowl, mix panko, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another, whisk two eggs. Place flour in a third bowl. Dip each piece of cod first in flour.
  • Dip the floured cod into the egg dip.
  • Next dip the cod pieces into the panko mixture. Press crumbs on well to coat.
  • Lightly grease your air fryer basket. Place nuggets in a single layer. Air fry at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For extra crispy nuggets, spray lightly with olive oil before air frying.
  • Want more flavor? Add dried parsley, paprika, or lemon zest to the breadcrumbs.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer to bring back the crunch.
