Filet-O-Fish from the Airfryer
Want a healthy, quick version of the classic Filet-O-Fish? With the airfryer you get a deliciously crispy fish fillet without all that frying oil. Here is a simple recipe to make this delicious meal yourself!
Ingredients:
- 2 white fish fillets (e.g. cod, pangasius or tilapia)
- 2 hamburger buns (preferably a little soft, such as white or whole wheat)
- 2 slices cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon yogurt (for a healthier version)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dill (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 50 g panko (or regular breadcrumbs)
For the sauce:
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Preparation method:
-
Make the sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, vinegar and sugar in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
-
Prepare the fish:
- Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel.
- Sprinkle them with salt and pepper to taste.
- First, coat the fish fillets in flour, then in beaten egg, and finally in panko. Make sure the fillets are well coated with panko for a crispy crust.
-
Setting up the airfryer: Preheat the airfryer to 180°C.
-
Bake the fish: Place the breaded fish fillets in the basket of the airfryer and bake for 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Turn them halfway through the baking time, so that they become nice and crispy on both sides.
-
Prepare the rolls: Cut the rolls in half and toast them briefly in the air fryer or on a grill pan, if desired.
-
Stack the Filet-O-Fish: Spread a little of the sauce on the bottom half of the bun. Place the crispy fish fillet on top and add a slice of cheddar cheese, if desired. Top with the top half of the bun.
-
Serve: Serve the Filet-O-Fish immediately with a little extra sauce on the side and a fresh salad if desired.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add some dill or other herbs to the sauce.
- For a healthier option, use whole wheat buns or replace the mayonnaise in the sauce with Greek yogurt.
Enjoy your meal! 😋
