Air-Fried Fish Tacos with Pickled Slaw and Cilantro Lime Sauce

A fun mid-week meal of crispy air-fried fish, lime and cilantro flavored mayo in a soft corn tortilla with pickled slaw spiced up with jalapeño pepper. If you’re in a hurry, the slaw can be pickled for as little as 30 minutes but tastes even better if pickled overnight.

Instructions

  • 1Combine the cabbage, onion, pepper, salt and vinegar in a bowl. Allow to pickle for 30 minutes to 2 hours on the countertop or overnight in the refrigerator. The longer the pickling time the better the flavor.

  • 3Cut the fish into 16 pieces about 8cm long and 2cm wide.
  • 4Place the flour and salt in a shallow dish. Whisk the eggs and water in a second dish. Place the breadcrumbs in a third dish.
  • 5Set the oven to Air Fry, Super Convection, 220°C, for 10 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step. 
  • 6Working with one piece at a time, toss the fish, in the flour, eggs and then breadcrumbs, shaking off the excess.
  • 7Place the fish in the air fry basket, ensuring they are not touching and generously spray both sides with cooking spray.
  • 8Once preheated, place the basket in rack position 3 and cook for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the tortillas.
  • 9Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat and warm the tortillas, in batches, for 30 seconds on each side. Place them on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • 10The fish should be golden and crisp. If not, cook it a little longer. 
  • 11Just before serving, drain the liquid from the slaw, remove and discard the jalapeño. Add the cilantro.
  • 12Place 2 pieces of fish on each tortilla, top with the pickled slaw and sauce.
