Ingredients:

• 4 catfish fillets
• ¼ cup Louisiana Fish Fry Coating
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)

Directions:

1. Prep the Fish: Start by patting your catfish fillets dry with paper towels. This helps ensure that the seasoning sticks well and the fish cooks evenly.
2. Season the Fillets: Generously sprinkle Louisiana Fish Fry Coating onto both sides of each fillet, ensuring every inch is well-coated. This seasoned coating will bring out the flavors and give the catfish that irresistible crunch.
3. Spritz with Olive Oil: Lightly spritz olive oil over the top of each fillet. The oil will aid in crisping up the fish fry coating, giving it a perfectly fried texture.
4. Air Fry – First Side: Carefully arrange the fillets in the air fryer basket. Make sure not to stack or overcrowd them, as this can affect the evenness of the cooking. Cook in batches if necessary. Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook for 10 minutes.
5. Flip and Cook: After 10 minutes, open the air fryer, flip the fillets, and cook for another 10 minutes.
6. Final Crisping: For extra crunchiness, flip the fish one more time and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the desired crispness is achieved.
7. Garnish and Serve: For a touch of freshness, top each fillet with optional chopped parsley. Serve immediately and savor the crispy and flavorful catfish!
