Air Fried Grouper

At first blush fish might seem a bit delicate for the air fryer treatment, but nothing could be further from the truth. Air fryers love fresh fish fillets and you will too. Coating the fish with olive before breading both locks in the moisture and makes the breading cook to a perfect, satisfying crunch. If you’re not in the mood for tacos, just air fry the fillets and serve with your favorite sides. It’s fast, it’s fun and it’s fabulous!

Fresh grouper fillets
1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
1 cup dry bread crumbs If following a gluten-free diet, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder or granules
¼ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
Soft or hard taco shells
1 cup shredded lettuce
Diced tomatoes

Drizzle fillets with olive oil until well coated with oil
In a shallow dish, mix the bread crumbs with paprika, chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and salt

Coat each fish fillet in bread crumbs, and transfer to your air fryer basket

Make sure your air fryer basket isn’t overcrowded as that will prevent the fish from crisping

Cook in the air fryer at 390°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes. After the first 8-10 minutes, open the air fryer and flip the fish fillets over, then continue cooking

Transfer cooked fish to a cutting board and use a sharp kitchen knife to cut the fillets into strips, load into taco shells with lettuce and tomato and serve
