Ingredients

  • 4 frozen tilapia fillets (4 ounces each)

  • 1 1/2 cups seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt

For Serving

  • 1 lemon, cut in wedges
  • Tartar sauce

Instructions

Step 1
Remove tilapia from freezer. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, then cut each fillet into quarters. 

Step 2
Place flour in a shallow bowl. Add eggs to another bowl. Combine bread crumbs and salt in a third bowl. 

Step 3
Working in small batches, dredge tilapia in flour. Tap off excess, then coat in egg. Then coat evenly with bread crumbs. 

Step 4
Insert crisper plate in basket. Preheat unit by selecting AIR FRY, setting the temperature to 390°F, and setting the time to 3 minutes. Select START/PAUSE to begin. 

Step 5
After 3 minutes, place 8 fish sticks on crisper plate; insert basket in unit. 

Step 6
Select AIR FRY, set temperature to 390°F, and set time to 12 minutes. Select START/PAUSE to begin. 

Step 7
Halfway through cooking, select START/PAUSE to pause cooking. Remove basket from unit and flip fish sticks. Reinsert basket and select START/PAUSE to resume cooking. 

Step 8
When cooking is complete, remove fish sticks from crisping plate. Squeeze lemon wedges over them and serve immediately with tartar sauce or ketchup. 

Step 9
Repeat steps 4 through 8 with remaining fish sticks. They can also be placed in a resealable plastic bag and frozen for cooking later.
