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.
