These air fryer fish tacos are unique. Unlike most fish taco recipes, the slaw in this recipe is air-fried instead of raw, creating a caramelized version that leaves the fish to be the crispy star of the show.

Ingredients

  • nonstick cooking spray

  • 4 cups cabbage slaw mix

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh jalapeño pepper

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup yellow cornmeal

  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix

  • 1 pound cod fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 8 (6 inch) corn tortillas

Directions

  1. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

  2. Combine cabbage slaw, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, olive oil, vinegar, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Mix until evenly combined and set aside.

  3. Mix together flour, cornmeal, and taco seasoning in a medium bowl until well combined. Add cod and toss until evenly coated; discard any excess seasoning mixture. Place coated cod in the prepared air fryer basket and mist lightly with cooking spray.

  4. Cook in the preheated air fryer for 5 minutes. Shake the basket and continue cooking until fish is crispy and flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes more. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

  5. Place cabbage slaw mixture into the air fryer basket.

  6. Cook in the air fryer until cabbage is caramelized, about 8 minutes, stirring halfway.

  7. Spoon cabbage slaw evenly onto tortillas and top with fish.
