Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: One 1-pound piece fresh cod, skin removed; Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper; 1/2 cup all-purpose flour; 2 large eggs; 3/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs; 1/4 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano; 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay; Nonstick cooking spray, for the fish sticks; Lemon wedges, for serving; Tartar sauce, for serving

Directions

Special equipment:

a 3.5-quart air fryer

Cut the cod into strips, about 3 inches long, 1/2 inch wide and 1/2 inch thick. Pat dry between a couple paper towels, then season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
Whisk the flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a shallow bowl. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt in a second shallow bowl. Whisk the breadcrumbs, Pecorino Romano and seafood seasoning in a third shallow bowl until combined. Dip a piece of fish in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the beaten egg. Dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, turning until evenly coated. Transfer to a large plate or rimmed baking sheet and continue until all the fish are coated.
Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 400 degrees F. Working in batches, place some of the fish sticks in the fryer basket in a single layer, then spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Cook, flipping halfway through, until the fish sticks are golden brown and opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes a side.
Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce, for dipping.
