This air fryer cod recipe lets you enjoy a Friday night fish fry at home! Tender cod is encrusted with homemade breading and cooked in an air fryer for a guilt-free dinner. I like to serve this with tartar sauce, roasted potatoes, and homemade sweet and sour coleslaw.

Ingredients
- olive oil cooking spray
- 1 pound cod, about 1-inch thick, cut into 4 pieces

Steps

- Combine polenta, flour, seafood seasoning, garlic salt, onion powder, pepper, and paprika in a shallow dish. Press cod pieces into polenta mixture to evenly coat.
- Arrange coated cod in the prepared air fryer basket, leaving space between them so air can circulate. Spray the tops with cooking spray.
- Cook in the preheated air fryer for 8 minutes. Turn each piece and mist with cooking spray. Continue cooking for 4 minutes more.
