Instructions

Step 1
I used two small cod fillets for this recipe, which I sliced into finger-sized pieces and set aside. Fresh, flaky cod works beautifully for homemade fish fingers, but you could also use haddock or another white fish if you prefer.
Step 2
To create a crunchy, golden coating, I added about a cup of cornflakes into a sandwich bag and crushed them gently with a rolling pin until they formed small, even flakes. Then I poured the crushed cornflakes into a bowl to use as the coating.
Step 3
Instead of using eggs or batter, I brushed each piece of cod with a thin layer of low-fat mayonnaise. This not only helps the coating stick but also adds a subtle creaminess to the inside of the fish fingers once cooked. I dipped the mayo-coated fish pieces into the cornflake crumbs, pressing gently to ensure they were fully covered.
Step 4
Next, I placed the coated fish fingers into my air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving the crisper plates in. Be careful not to overcrowd them. I cooked them at 185°C for around 10 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure they crisped up evenly.
