Ingredients:
- 1 pound codfish fillets, cut into strips
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons Greek-style yogurt
- 1 teaspoon hot paprika
- 1 teaspoon Greek oregano
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions:
- Begin by creating a flavor-packed marinade in a shallow bowl. Mix together the olive oil, egg, Greek-style yogurt, hot paprika, Greek oregano, and a touch of salt and black pepper. This medley of ingredients will infuse the fish with the vibrant and bold flavors of the Mediterranean.
- In a separate shallow bowl, assemble the breadcrumb coating. Combine the seasoned breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and all-purpose flour. This mixture will create a crispy and savory crust for the fish sticks.
- Carefully dredge each codfish fillet strip in the egg and yogurt mixture, ensuring they are coated evenly. Then, dip the coated strips into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are fully coated while shaking off any excess.
- With your fish strips coated and ready, it’s time to turn to the air fryer. Select the “Air Fry” function and set the temperature to 400 degrees F. With a confident press of the “Start” key, the culinary magic begins.
- Arrange the coated fish strips on the air fryer oven’s perforated pan, ensuring they are spaced out to ensure even cooking. The air fryer’s technology guarantees a crispy exterior without the need for excessive oil.
- Let the air fryer work its magic as it roasts the fish strips for about 10 minutes. During this time, the breadcrumbs will turn golden and crispy, while the fish inside remains moist and tender.
- As the aroma of Greek herbs and spices fills the air, your Greek-Style Fish Sticks are reaching culinary perfection. Once the timer is up, your meal is ready to be savored.
