Notes
If your air fryer (like my Ninja Foodi Dual Zone) doesn’t have a setting for 380°F, then 375°F or 390°F will also work, depending what yours has. The cooking time adjustment is pretty small, so you can still follow the same guidelines
These Van de Kamp’s frozen battered fish fillets took about 12 minutes in the Ninja air fryer to be perfectly cooked. Other brands and sizes of air fryers will vary slightly
You don’t need to add any additional oil to the fillets during cooking - they come with it already in the breading. In fact, I have oil in my drip pan after cooking without adding any of my own!
I recommend using a spatula or a long fork to gently turn the fillets during cooking. This helps to prevent the breading from falling off like when you pinch it with tongs. That said, even if you do knock some off, it still tastes good!
Exact nutritional values will vary depending on specific brand used and total amount consumed, so please consider this as only a guideline or estimate
