Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, mix the parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Brush the cod fillets with olive oil.
Coat each fillet in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the coated fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Serve with lemon wedges and alongside your choice of roasted veggies or salad.

Notes

Pat the fillets dry before oiling to ensure crispiness. Use a digital thermometer to check doneness.
