Air-Fryer Pretzel-Crusted Fish

Honey-mustard pretzels add so much flavor to this crunchy fish coating, you’ll want to use it on everything. Serve this air-fryer fish with sides of your choice, from macaroni and cheese to corn muffins or rice pilaf.

Ingredients

4 FISH fillets (6 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 large eggs
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons 2% milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups honey mustard miniature pretzels, coarsely crushed
Cooking spray
Lemon slices, optional

Directions

Preheat air fryer to 325°. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Whisk eggs, mustard and milk in a shallow bowl. Place flour and pretzels in separate shallow bowls. Coat fillets with flour, then dip in egg mixture and coat with crushed pretzels.
In batches, place fillets in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 10-12 minutes. If desired, serve with lemon slices.
