Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Gluten-Free Cajun Fish Fillets in the Air Fryer.
Step 1
Start by creating a flavorful Cajun mayonnaise.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and Cajun seasoning, mixing until everything is well blended.
Step 3
Next, take your fish fillets and generously spread the zesty Cajun mayo on both sides using a small spatula or butter knife.
Step 4
This step not only adds flavor but also helps the breadcrumbs stick.
Step 5
Now, pour some gluten-free panko bread crumbs onto a plate.
Step 6
Gently press each fillet into the crumbs, ensuring they are fully coated for that perfect crunch.
Step 7
To achieve a golden crisp in the air fryer, lightly spray both sides of the breaded fillets with cooking spray.
Step 8
When you're ready to cook, arrange two fillets in each air fryer tray, making sure to leave some space between them for even cooking.
Step 9
Set your air fryer to the Roast setting at 375°F (190°C) and let them cook for 14 minutes.
Step 10
Remember to rotate the trays halfway through at the 7-minute mark for even browning.
Step 11
You’ll know the fish is ready when it flakes easily with a fork, revealing its tender, juicy interior.
Step 12
Carefully remove the fillets from the trays and serve them hot, perhaps with a squeeze of lemon or a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
Step 13
Enjoy your deliciously crispy Cajun fish fillets!.
