Notes

  • Do not defrost the white fish fillets. Go directly from the freezer to the air fryer. 
  • If your fish is dry after cooking, squeeze lemon juice over the fillets. It adds moisture and flavor. 
  • Your first batch will be sort of a “test” run. Adjust time and temperature based on the size of your favorite frozen fish fillets. 
  • Turn the frozen fish fillet halfway through cooking. This will help the fish fillets to cook all the way through and be crispy on both sides.
  • Using cooking spray or olive oil helps prevent sticking and helps it crisp up.
  • If your air fryer is small, you may need to cook in batches. Everyone can start on their first piece of fish while the second piece cooks. 
  • Remember that air fryer temperatures vary depending on the make and model. so use the cooking times listed as a guide, check for doneness, and adjust as needed.
  • Storage - keep leftovers refrigerated and consume them within 3 days.
  • There are 7 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
