Ingredients
- 2 x 150-170g cod fillets

- 40 g mayonnaise
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 lemon
- 5 g mint

Instructions
- To start our Crispy Fish recipe, pat the cod fillets dry and set up for dredging with flour in once bowl and panko breadcrumbs in another.
- In a third bowl, mix the mayonnaise with one tablespoon of water, paprika and one minced garlic clove and the zest of ½ lemon and mix.
- Dip the fillets into the flour, then the mayonnaise “batter”, then finally dip them into the panko crumbs.
- Select Air Fry and set the temperature to 200°C and time to 12 minutes. Cook until the fish flakes easily when pressed and the crumbs are golden brown. Do not turn the fillets as they can break apart.
