Ingredients
-
1 pound fresh crappie fillets
-
2 tablespoons salt
-
½ cup yellow cornmeal
-
¼ cup all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon seasoned salt (such as LAWRY'S®)
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (Optional)
-
cooking spray
Directions
-
Place crappie fillets in a bowl. Add salt and water to cover. Cover and let sit to draw out all the blood, about 30 minutes. Rinse fillets thoroughly to remove salt. Pat dry with paper towels.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
-
Add cornmeal, flour, seasoned salt, paprika, pepper, and cayenne to a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Seal and shake until evenly combined. Drop 2 fillets into the bag, seal, and shake to coat. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining fillets.
-
Spray the tops of the fillets with nonstick cooking spray. Place a layer of fillets in the air fryer basket, sprayed-side down, making sure none are overlapping. Spray the tops with cooking spray. Cook for 4 minutes. Carefully flip and spray any chalky spots. Cook until crispy, about 4 minutes more. Repeat with remaining fillets.
