Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. Gather three shallow bowls for a breading station. In the first bowl, add all-purpose flour. In the second, whisk together large eggs until smooth. In the third bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with Old Bay seasoning.
  3. Pat your cod pieces dry using paper towels.
  4. Dredge each piece of cod in flour, then dip into whisked eggs, and finally press into the breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Lightly brush your air fryer basket with canola oil and place the coated fish inside, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  6. Cook the fish at 400°F for 8 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
  7. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce.
