Crispy Air-Fried Mahi Mahi Nuggets

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air-Fried Mahi Mahi Nuggets.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your air fryer to a sizzling 400°F (200°C) to get that perfect crispy texture.

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, take your mahi mahi fillets and cut them into bite-sized nuggets, about 1 1/2 inches each.

3. Step 3

   Now, let’s create a simple breading station to make the magic happen: in one shallow dish, pour in some flour; in another, beat an egg until it’s nice and frothy; and in a third dish, add your seasoned fish fry coating for that extra flavor kick.

4. Step 4

   It’s time to coat those fish nuggets! First, dip each piece into the flour, making sure it’s fully covered.

5. Step 5

   Next, give it a bath in the egg, letting any excess drip off, and then roll it in the fish fry coating, pressing gently to ensure it sticks well.

6. Step 6

   This is where the flavor really starts to build! Once all your nuggets are coated, arrange them in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

7. Step 7

   Be careful not to overcrowd them; you want each nugget to have enough space to crisp up beautifully.

8. Step 8

   A light spray of nonstick cooking spray will help them achieve that golden-brown finish.

9. Step 9

   Now, let the air fryer work its magic! Cook the nuggets for about 12 minutes, or until they’re perfectly golden and crispy.

10. Step 10

    If you have more nuggets to fry, just repeat the process until they’re all done.

11. Step 11

    When they’re ready, serve your delicious fish nuggets hot, paired with your favorite dipping sauce.

12. Step 12

    Whether it’s tartar sauce, a zesty aioli, or something spicy, these nuggets are sure to be a hit! Enjoy your tasty creation and the smiles it brings to the table!.
