Firm Fish

Since this recipe can be air fried, pan-fried, or baked, we give some suggestions on which fish work well and hold up the best.


A fresh catch is always best, but when purchasing and using a frozen brand, we always thaw the firm blot dry before we begin to cook it.


We find the haddock, cod, snook, redfish and heartier fleshy fish works best.


Seasonal fresh fish markets or online is always the best choice and make sure it has a nice fresh smell and not a strong fishy smell.

Ingredients You Will Need:

• Cod or choose another firm fish
• butter
• lemon zest and juice
• salt, pepper, cayenne
• granulated garlic powder
• minced garlic
• fresh parsley
• Pecorino Romano cheese
• egg whites
• panko breadcrumbs

Other Tips and Suggestions

1. for seafood allergies use chicken or turkey breast
2. other fish to use: Chilean Sea Bass, Haddock, Tilapia, Halibut, Snook, Redfish Snapper
3. use only fresh lemon zest and juice
4. frying: Heat the oil in a pan on the stovetop. Fish must be dipped in egg and breadcrumb on both sides omitting the butter in the mixture. Fry fish in hot oil flipping once for around 4 minutes on each side depending on the thickness.
5. air-fry: preheat the fryer to 400 degrees. Spray the basket with cooking oil. Air fry the fish for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily
