Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8 4 ounce cod fish fillets thawed (if previously frozen), and dried well with paper towels.
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 cups instant potato flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon (divided) Old Bay Seafood Seasoning or your favorite brand
  • 1 teaspoon (divided) kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or olive oil spray

Instructions

  • Preheat an air fryer or oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the melted butter, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and and ⅛ teaspoon of seafood seasoning to a shallow dish. Stir well to combine.
  • Add the potato flakes, and the remaining salt, pepper, and seafood seasoning to a second shallow dish and stir well to combine.
  • Dip each dried fillet into the melted butter mixture (all sides), and then into the potato flake mixture. Press the flakes firmly onto the butter coated fish.
  • Place the potato crusted fillets into the air fryer basket, or baking sheet fitted with a wire rack.
  • Spray the coated fillets with a drizzle (or an even spray) of olive oil. If desired sprinkle the remaining potato flakes onto the fillets before baking.
  • Bake in an AIR FRYER for 8-10 minutes and then rotate the sheet and return to the air fryer for an additional 3-4 minutes.
    OR
    Bake in a CONVENTIONAL OVEN for 12 minutes, rotate the sheet and return it to the oven for an additional 3-4 minutes.

Notes

The proper internal temperature for cooked fish is 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Insert an instant read thermometer into the thickest part of the fish.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
