This air fryer cod recipe lets you enjoy a Friday night fish fry at home! Tender cod is encrusted with homemade breading and cooked in an air fryer for a guilt-free dinner. I like to serve this with tartar sauce, roasted potatoes, and homemade sweet and sour coleslaw.

Ingredients

  • olive oil cooking spray

  • 1 pound cod, about 1-inch thick, cut into 4 pieces

  • ¼ cup polenta

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ teaspoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay)

  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon paprika

Directions

  1. Preheat an air fryer to 380 degrees F (195 degrees C). Grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Pat cod dry with paper towels.

  2. Combine polenta, flour, seafood seasoning, garlic salt, onion powder, pepper, and paprika in a shallow dish. Press cod pieces into polenta mixture to evenly coat.

  3. Arrange coated cod in the prepared air fryer basket, leaving space between them so air can circulate. Spray the tops with cooking spray.

  4. Cook in the preheated air fryer for 8 minutes. Turn each piece and mist with cooking spray. Continue cooking for 4 minutes more.

Recipe Tip

You can substitute cornmeal for polenta if desired.
