Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting the white fish fillets dry using paper towels to ensure a crispy texture.
  2. Arrange three shallow dishes in a row: first for seasoned flour, second for whisked eggs, and third for panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Dip each fish fillet into the flour, then into the egg, and finally into the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring even coverage.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for approximately 3 minutes. Lightly spray the breaded fillets with olive oil.
  5. Place the fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for about 8-12 minutes, turning halfway through.
  6. Check the internal temperature; they should reach 145°F and flake easily with a fork. If not, return to the air fryer.
  7. Remove fillets and garnish with lemon wedges and parsley.
