Let’s be trustworthy. There isn’t all the time time (or finances) to supply recent fish, and households want a prepared answer available for a fast weeknight supper. Personally, I do love to purchase recent fish from the fish store within the docks at Gqeberha, however that’s a half-day drive from h0me. So you will see frozen hake fillets within the Jackman freezer.
I discover them tough to cook dinner in a frying pan. The warmth veers right away from too sizzling to not sizzling sufficient, or vice versa. One aspect catches virtually each time. I don’t like doing them within the oven, because it’s removed from economical. I’m additionally allergic to my microwave oven, which leads us to the air fryer which I’m liking increasingly more day-after-day.
A fast Google advised me that, as with frying them, fish fillets must go straight from the freezer into the air fryer, after preheating it. I attempted it and so they got here out completely the primary time. They’re undoubtedly essentially the most profitable frozen fish fillets I’ve cooked. It’s a giant win.
Right here’s how I did it…
Elements
Frozen crumbed hake fillets (nonetheless many you need to cook dinner)
Cooking oil spray
Lemon wedges
Granny Betty’s air fryer chips (as many as you need)
Salt to style
Technique
Don’t defrost the fillets. They should come straight out of the freezer and into the preheated air fryer.
Preheat the air fryer drawer at 190℃ for five minutes.
Coat the bottom with cooking oil spray. Place the fillets in, with house between them for the recent air to flow into, and cook dinner for 10 minutes at 190℃.
Flip them over rigorously and cook dinner for an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
Serve with my mother’s family-favourite chips, the recipe for which I’ve tailored for an air fryer, and lemon wedges. Season with salt earlier than consuming. DM/TGIFood
