ingredients
for the fish:
4 filets halibut, cut in half (to fit a 6" tortilla)
¼ cup flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
egg wash, 2 eggs scrambled with a little water
⅔ cup panko breadcrumbs, seasoned with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder
8 6" tortillas
for the toppings (optional):
spicy crema, your favorite salsa / hot sauce mixed with light sour cream
I usually do a 50 / 50 mix.
pickled onions
cilantro
lime
directions
Step 1:
Make a breading station with three shallow dishes: one dish for the seasoned flour, one with the scrambled egg and the last with the seasoned panko.
Step 2:
Take a halibut piece and one by one, dip them in each bowl in that order (flour, egg, panko), shaking off the excess after each dip.
Step 3:
Place the breaded fish in an air fryer basket and spray the top side of the fish with some pan spray.
Step 4:
Set the air fryer for 400°F and cook for about 3 - 4 minutes. Then, flip the fish and spray the pan spray again and cook for another 3 - 4 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Another good indicator to check the temperature is when you notice your panko turning golden brown.
Meanwhile, warm up your corn tortillas.
to build the taco:
Spread some spicy crema on your warm tortilla and place in your taco holder.
Add a piece of fish, top with pickled onions, fresh cilantro leaves, and a big squeeze of lime.
Set on your tray and repeat!
Jenn's Notes:
For the spicy crema, I always use our homemade fire roasted salsa (store bought is fine too) mixed with some light sour cream.
