For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the bread crumb mixture. If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of Cajun seasoning to taste. To prevent sticking, ensure your air fryer trays are clean and lightly sprayed with cooking spray before adding the fillets. Cod can be substituted with other white fish fillets such as haddock or tilapia. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model, so keep a close eye on the fillets and adjust accordingly.
