Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan White Fish with Smoked Paprika
The smoked paprika to the parmesan crust makes this air fryer white fish so delicious. For variety, mix up the spices and use any you like. A combination of chili powder, chipotle or smoked paprika is great or try an herbed mixture of thyme, oregano, and/or fennel.
A finer grated parmesan will cling better to fish and create a nicer crust.
