For an extra crispy result, consider using an air fryer liner with holes to promote even air circulation. Feel free to experiment with different types of fish, such as haddock or tilapia. If you prefer a thinner coating, use regular breadcrumbs instead of panko. To add a little zest, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice after cooking.
