Instructions
  1. In a shallow dish combine the panko, Parmesan, and parsley.
  2. In a separate shallow dish, whisk together egg, mayonnaise, Dijon, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pat the snapper fillets dry with a paper towel and cut into 4 ounce sections.
  4. Dredge the fillets in the egg mixture, flipping to coat both sides.
  5. Pick up the fillet pieces one at a time, letting excess drip off before placing in the panko mixture. Coat both sides of each fillet in panko mixture, gently pressing down on the fillets to get the coating to adhere. Repeat with all fillets.
  6. Transfer fillets to your air fryer basket, taking care to not overcrowd as that will prevent the fish from crisping, spray the top of each fillet with avocado oil.
  7. Cook in the air fryer at 400°F for 12-15 minutes. After the first 6-8 minutes, open the air fryer and flip over the fillets, spray again with oil and then continue cooking.
  8. You might need to adjust the cooking times depending on the kind and the thickness of the fish that you’re using and the model of your air fryer. Fish is ready when it’s easily flaked with a fork.

  1. Wash hands and clean preparation area. Rinse all fresh fruits and vegetables under cool running water before using.

  3. While the catfish is baking, prepare the Pico de Gallo. Combine all of the finely diced vegetables (tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, cilantro) in a medium bowl. Mix in the lime juice, salt, and pepper. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve to let flavors combine.

Make the garlic clove into a paste using either a Microplane or by mincing the clove then running your knife blade back and forth over the minced garlic (see our tips on garlic paste). Add in garlic paste and juice of 1 lime into avocado mixture and combine well.
