    8 Catfish Fillets

    2 Beaten Eggs
  • Then you will want to coat each fillet with the breadcrumbs.
  • Next, spray the fish and the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray of choice (we like olive oil).

  • Finally, place the fish in the air fryer basket as evenly as possible. You may need to cook your fish in batches, especially if you have a smaller air fryer.
  • Lastly, cook the fish in your air fryer for 8-10 minutes at 390*F. Be sure to flip your fish to the other side about halfway through cooking time and coat with some additional oil spray.
  • Serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges and enjoy!
