Air Fryer Frozen Fish Fillet
These crispy air fryer frozen fish fillets, cooked from store-bought breaded fish, are super easy to make in the air fryer so you save time making your meal.
Equipment
- Kitchen Tongs
Ingredients
- 2 4 oz frozen fish fillets
- lemon wedges optional
- tartar sauce optional
Instructions
- Place the frozen fish fillets in the air fryer basket. Make sure not to overlap. No cooking spray is needed.
- Air fry at 390°F(200° C) for 10 minutes, turning the fish over at the halfway point. Remove from the air fryer and spritz with lemon to serve.
Notes
- No oil is necessary to cook fish fillets because they have already been flash deep fried in oil.
- Cook the fish from frozen. There is not need to thaw it first and if you do, it can lead to a soggy exterior.
- Put the fish in the basket in a single layer. You don't want to overcrowd them or overlap them because they won't get evenly crispy. This recipe assumes you are cooking average sized fish fillets from frozen.
- There is no need to preheat the air fryer. If you do, you can expect to reduce the cooking time by a few minutes. If you're cooking more fillets in multiple batches, the second batch and onward will cook a little quicker.
- Remember that all air fryers cook differently and your fish fillets might be larger or smaller than mine. Adjust the cook time accordingly.
All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
