Air Fryer Frozen Battered Fish Fillets

Making Air Fryer Frozen Battered Fish Fillets is quick, easy, and results in perfectly crispy and delicious fish without all the grease of traditional frying. Whether you’re preparing dinner or a quick snack, the air fryer makes this process effortless!

Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 10-12 minutes
Servings: 2-4

Ingredients

  • 4-6 frozen battered fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or your favorite brand)
  • Cooking spray or olive oil spray
  • Lemon wedges (for serving, optional)
  • Tartar sauce or dipping sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
    • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Fish:
    • Remove the frozen battered fish fillets from the packaging. No need to thaw them; they go straight into the air fryer from frozen.
    • Lightly spray the fish fillets with cooking spray or olive oil spray for an extra crispy texture (optional).
  3. Air Fry the Fish:
    • Place the frozen battered fish fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
    • Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until the fish is golden brown and crispy on the outside, and the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  4. Serve:
    • Carefully remove the fish fillets from the air fryer and serve immediately. Garnish with lemon wedges and tartar sauce or your preferred dipping sauce.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve with crispy fries or potato wedges for a classic fish and chips meal.
  • Add a side of coleslaw or a light green salad for a refreshing contrast to the rich, crispy fish.

Tips:

  • If you’re cooking more than a few fillets, it’s best to cook them in batches to ensure the fish cooks evenly.
  • For a more homemade touch, you can make your own batter for fish fillets and air fry them using the same method.
  • For extra crispy fillets, flip them over at the halfway point to ensure both sides are equally golden.

Enjoy your Air Fryer Frozen Battered Fish Fillets, a quick and tasty seafood meal with less mess and less oil!
