This Air Fryer Parmesan Crusted Fish Fillet is a symphony of textures and flavours, and is a perfectly balanced combination of crispiness and succulence. Each bite offers a satisfying contrast between the rich, nutty flavour of the Parmesan crust and the delicate, mild taste of the fish.

Ingredients

4 x 150g firm white fish fillets (see tips)
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1½ tbsp whole egg mayonnaise
⅓ cup Panko crumbs
¼ cup Perfect Italiano Traditional Parmesan
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
½ tsp lemon zest
Cooking spray
Apple Kale slaw and lemon wedges to serve

Method

Pat fish dry using paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
Mix together mustard and mayonnaise and spread over the top of each fillet.
Combine Panko crumb, Parmesan, parsley and lemon zest and spoon onto a flat plate. Press the mustard smeared side of fish into crumb, pressing down firmly to make it stick.
Line air fryer basket with a small sheet of baking paper. Lightly spray Parmesan crumb with cooking spray and place in the air fryer in a single layer. Cook for 15-20 minutes at 170°C or until crumb is golden and fish is cooked through. Cook in batches as necessary. Serve immediately with an apple and kaleslaw salad and lemon wedges.

Tips & Hints

To cook in the oven. Bake at 220֯ C for 10-12 minutes, finish under a hot grill until crumb is golden.
Cook times will vary depending on the thickness of your fillets and variations in air fryers. Always start with the shortest cook time. Check and adjust to suit.
Use any firm fish fillet such as barramundi and salmon.
