I use a "Toaster Oven" style air fryer. Use it more as a broiler than an air fryer. - I use a small pizza pan - Cover pan with foil - make clean up easy - squirt a little oil on foil - I use olive oil. sometimes canola -- Just enough oil to coat the foil - not deep frying here - Place fillet on foil/oil - flip it around to coat both sides with oil -- End with "good side up" - you know what I mean? - Sprinkle with a little spice - I use garlic powder, salt, pepper (sometimes Italian seasoning) - Lightly cover with Panko bread crumbs - just sprinkle some on top. should stick to the oil on top of the fillet - finish with a little more salt and pepper - Optional: Add a couple of super thin strips of butter (1" x 1" x super thin) on top of the bread crumbs (makes it crispy when "frying") - Air Broil/Air Fry for 10 minutes @ 400F - more or less depending on thickness This is for walleye (and other skinless/flaky fish), not for perch (just my opinion). Perch needs to be fried the old fashioned way. 0 Thanks, 0 Likes 0 0
Hi Ted, well first off nothing beats frying in oil, having an air fryer i have tried it a few ways and it is fair, if you bread it you must spray it with oil/pam to brown and give it bit of crisp, and without breading use seasonings with butter or lemon juice for some moisture. . 0 Thanks, 0 Likes 0 0
