Number Of Ingredients 12

PLAN/PURCHASE
1 medium piece of white fish, i choose cod
1 - 2 dash(es) hot sauce, i prefer frank's
1 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin variety
SPICE/BREADING MIX
2 Tbsp cornmeal, fine grind

1 tsp cajun/creole spice mix
OPTIONAL SPICES
1 - 2 pinch paprika
1 - 2 pinch garlic powder
1 - 2 pinch white pepper, freshly ground

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. This recipe required an air fryer, or you could substitute a convection oven.
  • 3. I prefer to use my own homemade Cajun/Creole spice mix; however, if I do not have any available, then my store-bought option would be Tony Chachere's. Just remember that most commercial spice mixes are loaded with salt. Here is my version of a good Cajun spice mix, and you can decide how much salt to add: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/seasoning-mix/spice-essentials-creole-seasoning.html?r=2
  • 4. The actual cook time will be determined by the thickness of your filet. Mine was about 3/4-inch (1.9cm) in thickness and took 17 minutes.
  • 5. If you do a lot of air frying, an almost indispensable chef's tool is a good oil mister.
  • 6. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 7. In a small bowl, combine the spice ingredients.
  • 8. Rub both sides of the fish with the hot sauce, then brush on the olive oil.
  • 9. Cover with the spice/breading mix.
  • 10. Lightly brush some oil on the basket of your air fryer (to prevent sticking), then add the filet. Set the temperature to 400 (205c) and cook for 10 minutes.
  • 11. Open the basket, lightly brush the top of the filet with some oil, and gently flip over. Close the air fryer and cook an additional 6 - 7 minutes.
  • 12. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 13. Serve with a great side, like rice, and some tartar sauce. Enjoy.
  • 14. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
