Ingredients: -
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour,
½ tsp baking soda,
3 ¼ cup beer,
1 egg beaten,
¾ cup all-purpose flour,
½ tsp paprika,
1 tsp salt,
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper,
Pinch cayenne pepper,
4-5 medium pieces of snapper,1½ inch thickness.
Vegetable oil,
METHOD: -
Combine the flour and baking soda in a large bowl. Add the beer and egg and stir until smooth. Cover the bowl of batter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 mins.
Combine the ¾ cup of flour, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a shallow dredging pan.
Make sure your pieces of fish are at least 1½ inches thick, so they don't dry out in the air fryer. Pat the snapper fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Dip the fish into the batter, coating all sides. Let the excess batter drip off and then coat each fillet with the seasoned flour. Sprinkle any leftover flour on the fish fillets and pat gently to adhere the flour to the batter.
Pre-heat the air fryer to 390°F.
Generously spray both sides of the coated fish filets with vegetable oil and place them in the air fryer basket. Air-fry for 12 mins at 200°C / 390ºF. Spray with more oil during the cooking process if there are any dry spots on the coating.
Serve with air fried chips, lemon wedges, tartare sauce and coleslaw.
