Ingredients

4 haddock fillets about 1–1.5 lbs total
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 eggs whisked
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Oil or cooking oil spray
Lemon wedges for serving
Fresh parsley chopped, for serving

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
In a shallow bowl, mix the flour with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. In another, whisk the eggs. Add panko breadcrumbs to a third bowl.
4 haddock fillets, ½ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, 2 eggs, 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Pat haddock fillets dry with paper towels. Dredge one fillet in the seasoned flour, then dip in egg, then press into panko breadcrumbs until fully coated. Repeat with remaining fillets.
Arrange the fish in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray. Lightly spray both sides with olive oil.
Oil or cooking oil spray
Air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until fish is golden and crisp on the outside and flakes easily with a fork.
Sprinkle with parsley, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, and serve with tartar sauce, fries, or your favorite sides.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the air fryer; cook in batches if needed.
Thicker fillets may need an extra 1–2 minutes of cooking time.
Cooking oil is key for browning the panko evenly.
