Ingredients

  • 2 white fish fillets (cod or haddock, 200g each)
  • 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 large potatoes, cut into chips
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Method

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a bowl, mix whole wheat breadcrumbs, almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each fish fillet into the beaten egg, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Toss the potato chips in olive oil, season with salt, and place in the air fryer basket.
  5. Cook the potato chips for 10 minutes, shaking halfway through. Then add the fish and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until crispy.

Pro tips for maximum crisp

  • For extra crispiness, make sure the fish is patted dry before coating.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in the air fryer for best results.
  • Try using different seasonings in the breadcrumb mixture for a flavor twist!
