Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 - 6 Frozen fish fillets (use as many as will fit in your air fryer)
  • Tartar sauce for serving
  • French fries for serving
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Place the frozen fish fillets (no need to thaw them) into the air fryer basket in a single layer. You do not need to preheat your air fryer.
  • Air fry the frozen fish fillets at 380 °F (190 °C) for 12 minutes.
  • Flip the fish fillets gently with a fish spatula or tongs and air fry for another 4 - 6 minutes until golden, crispy and cooked through.
  • Remove from the air fryer, generously squeeze lemon juice over and serve with tartar sauce and French fries or your preferred sauces and side dishes.

Notes

Storage
You can store leftover fish fillets in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store them in an airtight container once they have cooled to room temperature. 
I wouldn't recommend freezing any leftover fish fillets as they have already been frozen and cooked so they will fall apart if frozen and reheated again. 
Remember: Do not use aerosol oil sprayers in your air fryer as they will damage the non-stick layer of the air fryer basket and oven. Use an oil sprayer bottle filled with a neutral oil like vegetable or olive oil, instead for best results.
