This recipe was passed on to me by a co-worker. My husband fishes so much so we are always trying new ways to cook our fillets. This is approximately the amounts I use, but it's easy to adjust and so quick to make.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

7 crappie fillets, fresh caught or thawed from freezer
1/2 c ranch dressing (bottled kind)
2 Tbsp garlic salt
sour cream & chedder cheese potato chips

Steps:

  • 1. Spray 9 x 12 baking dish with Pam or other sprays
  • 2. Layer fillets in dish, (can add more than 7 if cooking for more than a couple). Coat each fillet good with the Ranch Dressing. Again may take more than 1/2 cup of the dressing if more fillets added.
  • 3. Sprinkle the garlic salt over the fillets.
  • 4. Crush as many of the potato chips needed to completely cover the fillets..just need a light layer over them
  • 5. Top with shredded cheddar cheese. I have found to keep the cheese from getting too cooked I will bake the recipe first then add cheese just last few minutes of baking time. Bake at 325 for approximately 15 min or until fish is tender.

AIR FRYER FRESH-CAUGHT CRAPPIE



Air Fryer Fresh-Caught Crappie image

When spring is in the air, fried crappie is what all of the fishermen around here are talking about. This year I left the deep-fryer in the cabinet and used my air fryer for a healthier alternative. Serve with malt vinegar, tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, hot pepper sauce, or the condiments of your choice.

Time 48m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound fresh crappie fillets
2 tablespoons salt
½ cup yellow cornmeal
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon seasoned salt (such as LAWRY'S®)
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Place crappie fillets in a bowl. Add salt and water to cover. Cover and let sit to draw out all the blood, about 30 minutes. Rinse fillets thoroughly to remove salt. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Add cornmeal, flour, seasoned salt, paprika, pepper, and cayenne to a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Seal and shake until evenly combined. Drop 2 fillets into the bag, seal, and shake to coat. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining fillets.
  • Spray the tops of the fillets with nonstick cooking spray. Place a layer of fillets in the air fryer basket, sprayed-side down, making sure none are overlapping. Spray the tops with cooking spray. Cook for 4 minutes. Carefully flip and spray any chalky spots. Cook until crispy, about 4 minutes more. Repeat with remaining fillets.
